"A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: Are you ready to be unsettled? Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night: it can cause evil spirits to appear--and even follow you home. These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples' survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon"--Page 4 of cover.
