NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: “Are you ready to be un-settled?” Featuring stories by:

Norris Black • Amber Blaeser-Wardzala • Phoenix Boudreau • Cherie Dimaline • Carson Faust • Kelli Jo Ford • Kate Hart • Shane Hawk • Brandon Hobson • Darcie Little Badger • Conley Lyons • Nick Medina • Tiffany Morris • Tommy Orange • Mona Susan Power • Marcie R.

Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.

These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce listeners to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

Ce que les critiques en disent

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“All combined, these powerful pages use fantastical elements to create very human characters who suffer very real horrors, like oppression, poverty, abuse, mental illness and the erasure of long-existing cultures and traditions. This volume is a must for any library collection and will be devoured by speculative fiction fans who enjoy a sprinkle of social commentary within their scary books.” —Booklist

Never Whistle at Night is all I’ve ever wanted in an Indigenous horror anthology. From doubles, to Empty People, to story theft, to zombies, this anthology explores the horror that lives in colonial violence, generational love and trauma, and our everyday lives. It’s a joy to see such a diverse representation of experience, background, and style in this carefully curated and terrifying collection.” —Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree

“Story to story, Never Whistle at Night never failed to surprise, delight, and shock me. I’m a big fan of stories that make you feel like you’re standing at the edge of a cliff with a stranger’s fingers on the tip of your spine—and this anthology has that ungoverned, go-for-broke aesthetic that I love.” —Nick Cutter, author of Little Heaven

Incredible

A fantastic compilation of Indigenous stories told by Indigenous people. There is a harrowing sense of realism in each of the stories within this anthology, proof that culturally significant narratives are best told through the eyes and mouths of loved it. Definitely a top read for 2024

First anthology i’ve consumed in 15 years

So many excellent stories. Almost every one had my full attention. “Kushtaka” and “Scariest. Story. Ever.” were my favorites. Each story has fantastic narrators as well.

Chilling and Fascinating

I thoroughly enjoyed Never Whistle at Night. An excellent compilation. The story tellers and narrators made the characters and environment incredibly vivid and engaging.
I loved hearing about the authors after the stories and look forward to exploring more of their work.

not scary...deceptive and hate fueled

This title showed in a horror list search and with the ratings it looked like it was a good choice to spend a credit. That was the thought until I started listening, it seemed like what I wanted at first,-an anthology of different spooky stories, but it wasn't, not really. This book may be exactly that to some, but to me, not so much. What I listened to instead was a collection of native Indian stories and any that featured a white person had a racial tint. I don't care who writes the spooky stories I'm listening to, but ...for example, one of the earlier stories talks of a native girl who had a brief relationship with a non-native (white) man and got pregnant. She returns to her tribe and falls into a relationship with a native man, they have a child and throughout the entire story, she dotes on the native baby, calling it "my little Indian", and looks on her other baby, the mixed child, with distain to the point of neglect and the child mutating into a sort of dog. She throws food on the floor for it, gives it no clothing, and no love, and treats it worse than most do their pets. While she carries her full native child in a baby carriage, her mixed child scampers beside the baby carriage like a dog and plays with other dogs while she entertains the other baby at the park. At one point in this so-called spooky story, she forgets about the mixed child, leaving it locked out in the snow until it can't stand the cold and scratches at the front door and whimpers. Yes, real life is sometimes more horrific than fiction but come on, that story was more heartbreaking than terrifying.

I get that there is a LONG, violent and hate-filled history between whites and natives, but this is supposed to be an anthology of spooky stories, not non-fictional tales, re-worded and written off as fiction and therefore, for enjoyment. It seems the author who put together this anthology is giving rights to hate-fuelled or angered speech in the form of a spooky tale.

I stopped listening a quarter of the way in.

I don't recommend or support this book and thankfully, I was able to get my credit back for this title.
