“This, I believe is the story America, told in a forgotten church in the hinterlands, with a choir of the dead mutely witnessing. … we just wanted to live. Why did you —- Because you were just Indians!”

A story within a story. Historic fantasy horror. Vampires. 

A journal written in 1912 by a Blackfeet Indian named Good Stab is discovered in 2012. What is unveiled is a massacre of 217 Blackfeet and a detailed account of strange and unusual circumstances surrounding their deaths. 

An American Indian revenge story. My favorite part was the story telling. The narrative was raw and beautiful. 
“This, I believe, is the story of America, told in a forgotten church in the hinterlands, with a choir of the dead mutely witnessing.”
