A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

I loved this so much. It was my sister's book gift to me for last Halloween, and I read it then and am still blown away by how great it was. Yes to all of this, from the deeply unsettling and paranoid horror of the Lewis section to the transcendence to the way the culture is handled. This is one of my go-to examples of why I really want more fiction that's embedded in different and particular cultural contexts: the way the transgression stems from, as you said, a violation of the Blackfeet traditions and worldviews, the way the healing comes from that, the sweat, the tradition and living culture coexisting, all of it.

Also, Denorah is just the best. I would happily read a whole spin-off series of Denorah books.
