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'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).
