Stephen Graham Jones has done it again. He has taken us on a winding journey of an epistolary novel where you constantly question what is truth and what might have been left off the page. The discovery of a hidden journal quickly has Etsy Beaucarne translating the work of her great-great-great grandfather in hopes of publishing a book that will land her tenure. What Etsy discovers is the tale of her Lutheran Pastor grandfather receiving confession from a mysterious Native man whose story is almost unbelievable until more and more things start to occur. 
I am so obsessed with the way this story was told and how I found myself furiously flipping the page to find out what would happen next. Stephen Graham Jones has delivered the perfect amount of tension and body horror to ensure that I will never be able to forget this story. I appreciated the way people, land, and assimilation were discussed through Good Stab’s journey.
