This collection brings together fantasy and horror stories that draw from Native American folklore and mythology. The tales range from "Grass Dancer," which earned a Nebula Award nomination for best short story, to various previously hard-to-find pieces now assembled in one volume. The book also features the opening four chapters of "Coyote Rage," the first installment in a planned trilogy. This preview introduces readers to a world populated by shape-shifters, talking animals, giants, and Little People drawn from Native American traditions and legends. George A. Romero praised Goingback's skill as a storyteller, while Neil Gaiman called him "a hell of a writer." The collection showcases the author's ability to blend traditional folklore with contemporary horror and fantasy elements, creating stories that explore both supernatural terror and cultural heritage.
