Unfortunate but not uncommon he’s becomes just a standard small new story say on page 12 sadly, for many Native Americans it is not a story they haven’t seen before. But after leaving a bar he is suddenly spooked by a giant strange elk in the street which sets in motion a truly horrible night. He ran from his reservation after his little brother overdosed on someone’s sofa and he’s not looked back since. The story plunges us in the deep end with a very bad night starting for Ricky a native American mine driller. In Stephen Graham Jones’s darkly brilliant The Only Good Indians four young men make a simple mistake that will have devastating consequences not just for themselves but all they hold dear. Sometimes we know you don’t even have to cross the paths of an elemental spirit for these things to happen. Life is cruel, the world is not on your side and it can often be deadly and uncaring. Morality doesn’t come into play often sometimes bad things happen to decent people by accident. You break the rules of society/folklore then you have to face the repercussions coming your way. The normal world gets disturbed by someone or something truly abnormal. Cleaved to their heritage, these parents, husbands, sons and Indians, these men must fight their demons on the fringes of a society that has no place for them. The Only Good Indians, charts Nature's revenge on a lost generation that maybe never had a chance. A spirit which wears the faces of the ones they love, tearing a path into their homes, their families and their most sacred moments of faith. Now, ten years after a fateful elk hunt, which remains a closely guarded secret between them, these men and their children must face a ferocious spirit that is coming for them, one at a time.
Ricky, Gabe, Lewis and Cassidy are men bound to their heritage, bound by society, and trapped in the endless expanses of the landscape.
