Medina, Nick

Expertly blending timelines and perspectives, Medina delivers another atmospheric, unsettling, and downright eerie read that will keep readers guessing until the last page.

Straight-up supernatural horror fans may be disappointed that mystical elements take a backseat, but Medina’s real-world horrors are more frightening than anything from beyond the grave.

Though the Takoda tribe is not a real one, the author has based it on existing Indigenous nations, and the crimes against Indigenous women in the book are sadly realistic. But it’s the importance of stories, and who gets to keep and tell them, that’s at the heart of Medina’s gothic mystery.
