The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
An actual Horror novel, fueled by the contradiction between tradition and modern life--especially among Native Americans. There are elements here that play sorta like dark Magic Realism, and there are some instances where it's clear the characters are not experiencing things exactly as they are happening. There's some good prose, and some interesting characters--at least one of whom manages to live through the end of the novel (which I honestly wasn't sure was going to happen).
