This is my first experience with indigenous dark fiction and horror, and I must say these authors are GIANTS. Great stories, wonderful writing, from the darkest to the scariest, and yes, there is a difference. I marked this as reflective, because it really does make you think of the horrors inflicted on the indigenous of this hemisphere and how evil colonizers truly are. I hope to read something from each author in the near future.
