The New York Times bestseller and "horror masterpiece" (NPR) from Stephen Graham Jones--the master of modern horror--is a chilling historical horror novel tracing the life of a vampire who haunts the fields of the Blackfeet reservation looking for justice.

"Jones has written his Interview with the Indigenous Vampire. A landmark of horror and historical fiction alike, perhaps the closest thing we have to horror's Moby-Dick." --Vulture

"Inventive and spine-tingling...a master class in voice. Queasy, uneasy, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter plays with the interplay between religion and historical guilt, identity and appetite." --The Washington Post

A diary, written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Told in transcribed interviews by a Blackfeet named Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.

Not For the Faint of Heart

I started this book not knowing this was a horror story, so excuse my giving it such a low rating. With the amount of Native American speak, it is difficult to follow, and I just didn’t connect in any way. It wasn’t until two-thirds through that I realized what was happening. Even then, I wondered if this was real or in the subconscious of one man? The story is gory, brutal in violence and hatred, and not for the faint of heart.
