A vampire story rooted in Blackfeet history

Set against the Blackfeet reservation, this historical horror novel links a vampire’s pursuit of justice to a trail of violence reaching back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Its layered account is framed by a 1912 diary discovered inside a wall and by transcribed confessional visits in which Good Stab recounts his life. Religion, historical guilt, identity, appetite, and revenge shape the material, bringing supernatural horror into conversation with the history of Indigenous communities. The book’s diary-and-interview structure connects a personal testimony with events spanning generations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers of historical horror and vampire fiction
  • For readers interested in Indigenous-centered horror and stories of historical injustice
  • For readers who enjoy narratives framed through diaries and transcribed testimony

The New York Times bestseller and "horror masterpiece" (NPR) from Stephen Graham Jones--the master of modern horror--is a chilling historical horror novel tracing the life of a vampire who haunts the fields of the Blackfeet reservation looking for justice.

"Jones has written his Interview with the Indigenous Vampire. A landmark of horror and historical fiction alike, perhaps the closest thing we have to horror's Moby-Dick." --Vulture

"Inventive and spine-tingling...a master class in voice. Queasy, uneasy, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter plays with the interplay between religion and historical guilt, identity and appetite." --The Washington Post


A diary, written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Told in transcribed interviews by a Blackfeet named Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.
