“A revelation.”
—Ron Charles, The Washington Post

“[The editors’] taste is extraordinary, and they’ve put together a wonderful book. . . . Get this book because it showcases some truly exceptional writing. If you love short fiction, you really shouldn’t miss it.”
—Arley Sorg, Lightspeed Magazine

“It’s legit. . . . You don’t want to miss this dark exploration of Indigenous traditions, themes, and characters.”
—Matthew Jackson, Paste, “25 Horror Books We Can’t Wait to Read This Fall”

“A book of tantalizing tales that stretch from the eerie to the delightfully absurd. Some sound like they were plucked from David Lynch’s own brain and others are so steeped in reality that one feels like evil doesn’t have to follow one home because it is already there. . . . An unequivocal essential for any reader who isn’t afraid of the dark.”
—Mallory Smart, Maudlin House

“Mining rich strata of poisoned history and blood-soaked land, the writers summon an exhaustive array of ghosts, wolves, Wendigo spirits, human eaters, conjure women, and petroglyphs willing to exact revenge if you scratch them with your car keys. Throughout the 26 stories, contemporary American life is a threadbare bandage soaked through with the gore of the wound it never truly covers or heals.”
—Alan Scherstuhl, Scientific American

“Editors Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. prove themselves masters of flow throughout Never Whistle at Night. . . . A first-rate anthology. . . . This is truly a special book.”
—Christopher Shultz, Lit Reactor

“Scary and unsettling and sometimes outright horrifying. . . . These stories are wildly imaginative, frightening, and fun.”
—Liberty Hardy, Book Riot

“[These stories] demonstrate the impressive breadth and depth of Indigenous horror. . . . An excellent collection of varied tales that run the gamut from vengeful to wistful to hopeful.”
—The Gothic Library

“This collection gathers together a spine-chilling range of stories from many of the most exciting Indigenous literary voices, celebrating the power of Native imagination.”
—Eliza Browning, Electric Literature

“Never Whistle at Night should not be missed by anyone who considers themselves a horror fan. . . . A dark and personal look into what fears and otherworldly powers still hold sway over the landscape.”
—Ray Palen, Bookreporter

“A satisfying mix of unsettling horror stories written by an array of notable Native authors. . . . This volume is a must . . . and will be devoured by speculative fiction fans who enjoy a sprinkle of social commentary within their scary books.”
—Verónica N. Rodríguez, Booklist (starred review)

“A heavy-hitting arrangement of 26 twisted tales from established and emerging Indigenous North American authors. . . . Lifting up an exciting array of authors, this anthology will be a treat for horror fans.”
