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.

I absolutely loved everything about this book. At no point could I figure out where it was going next, the twists and turns were amazing. Jones is a wonderful writer and this book combined history with fiction so beautifully it could almost be believable.
Original vampire story steeped in Native American Lore. Loved it
I went into this read with high expectations and left somewhat disappointed. Overall worth reading; Slow at the beginning,Interesting in the middle, It ends well, but perhaps a bit hokey.
Excellent retelling of the horror of the Blackfeet genocide at Maria’s with the addition of another horror the vampire. I really enjoyed this as well as the utilization of the Indian language. It forced me to read much slower to understand.
A very good read. This is a vampire tale, set during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The setting is Western and the protagonist is a young native american man. It is a clever and original take on the vampire genre.
