Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology

The first story was a little mysterious but not creepy. After that, the stories were just ok; gave me ‘what the f’ vibes. So far, the story that has given me pause has been ‘Wingless’ because…well, let’s just say that horror isn’t always just blood and gore. These stories are interesting because the beginning lets you think that nothing bad will happen but suddenly something ominous occurs. I stopped reading because I couldn’t stop thinking about another book but then I came right back as soon as I was finished reading that one. I think the story ‘Collections’ hit me the hardest because there’s this girl who feels she isn’t good at doing her job and she got yelled at by her boss when she dropped a tray of dishes and the worst part was, the whole restaurant heard. I can relate to this because when I was younger and I did something wrong, I always felt uncomfortable and disappointing when I was yelled at which is understandable when you’re a kid. On another note, her real name is Magis which also reminded me of ‘The Mummy’. I always thought that my favorite part of the book was the cover art or the plot twist but it’s the acknowledgment section. I always saw the acknowledgment section as a way of explaining to us how they came up with this idea for a book and just went along with it like it was their own version of art. I can’t help but appreciate that amount of creativity.
