Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.

Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. have collected an impressively spinetingling collection of Indigenous dark fiction. While all of the stories fall into that category, they are refreshingly varied. Some contain Indigenous monsters, others historical and real monsters, and others artfully combine these and other frightful beings to create something new. The title stems from the belief in many Indigenous cultures that one should not whistle at night. While the exact reasons vary in each culture, usually whistling at night summons something dark that may follow the whistler home. Do you dare dip your toe into these stories that may just haunt you in your very home? I recommend you do.
