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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/31\/2023 (EAN 9780593468463, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/01\/2023 (EAN 9780593468463, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/04\/2023 pg. 1 (EAN 9780593468463, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 44 (EAN 9780593468463, Paperback) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hawk, Shane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023-09-19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiction \/ Indigenous \/ General (see also Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island or Nat|Fiction \/ Mystery \u0026amp; Detective \/ Collections \u0026amp; Anthologies|Fiction \/ Horror \/ General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e American fiction|Short stories|Indigenous peoples|Canadian fiction|Indian authors|Horror fiction|Folk tales|Paranormal fiction|Folk horror fiction, American|Folk horror fiction, Canadian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593468463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780593468463\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52402907218201,"sku":"SP-9780593468463","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780593468463_spiral.png?v=1778996835","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/never-whistle-at-night-an-indigenous-dark-fiction-anthology","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
