A chilling historical horror story set in the American west in 1912 following a Lutheran priest who transcribes the life of a vampire who haunts the fields of the Blackfeet reservation looking for justice.
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.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is technically a horror novel, but the supernatural elements are never the most disturbing part of the story. What lingers is the slow, painful awareness that the world of the Blackfeet Nation is disappearing, and that the characters living through it can feel that loss happening in real time.
The novel is deeply moving because of Good Stab. He is a fascinatingly tragic character, driven by grief, anger, and memory. His transformation into something monstrous turns him into the hunter of the buffalo hunters, yet revenge never brings him peace. Instead it leaves him carrying the memories of a culture that is being erased. What makes him so compelling is that he understands how inevitable the destruction around him is, and that awareness gives the story a heavy sense of sadness.
His story becomes even more powerful when placed alongside Arthur Beaucarne, an elderly pastor whose faith and worldview clash with Good Stab’s entirely. Yet Beaucarne is not written as a simple villain. As he listens to Good Stab’s story, he begins to confront the history and violence tied to the culture he represents. There is a quiet sense of guilt in him that binds the two men together despite their differences.
The conversations between them feel less like arguments and more like a reckoning between two worlds. One man carries the grief of a people who were destroyed, while the other slowly realizes the weight of that destruction.
By the end, the supernatural horror fades into the background. What remains is something far more haunting: the story of men forced to remember a world that no longer exists as it once did and tackle just how ugly the human soul can be.
Haunting, tragic, visceral yet deeply; highlighting a species and people almost gone yet proudly still here!
