Man. This is the kind of book where after you finish it, you have to sit and stare at the wall for awhile as your brain fights to keep up. If you’re a horror fan, buckle up and dive right into this one because I still can’t get over it.
This book is about a night, ten years ago, when a group of Native American friends hunting in illegal territory reserved for only the elders of their tribe kill an entire herd of elk, including an elk that was carrying a baby. The group of friends feel bad, once they realize this particular elk is pregnant, and swear to her that every part of her will be used to honor her sacrifice. Years later, they will be haunted by their promise.
The story takes you inside the minds of these friends as they try to outrun their demons, written so realistically that often times I, the reader, became disoriented. It trapped me inside the story and did not let me go until it was over. I also liked the setting, because I know little about Native American culture, so it was nice to be transported inside of it for a little while.
I recommend this book if you like really effed up ess, like me. It was really, really good.
