Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones ★★★★☆

Native American in fancy cultural dress in front of a wall of dark skulls
“And he was looking across the room like an animal, right into my soul. His eyes shown, not with light but with a kind of wet darkness." 

Oh yes, give me more Native American horror. This is horror with layers, not just monsters. What I liked best was the allegory of the poverty cycle: of fathers and sons, promises and lies, of magic and murder. There was so much there and it's just barely over a hundred pages. 

I didn't enjoy all of it, dog villains, but it was good. Definitely an author I'll read again.
