Winner of the Bram Stoker® and Nebula Awards for Best Horror Novel, and shortlisted for the Splatterpunk Award.

A chilling historical horror novel set in the American West in 1912, following a Lutheran priest who transcribes the life of a vampire haunting the fields of the Blackfeet Reservation in search of justice. Perfect for fans of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab and Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.

Etsy Beaucarne is an academic who needs to get published. So when a journal written in 1912 by Arthur Beaucarne, a Lutheran pastor and her grandfather, is discovered within a wall during renovations, she sees her chance. She can uncover her family's lost secrets and get tenure.

As she researches, she learns about her grandfather and a Blackfeet man called Good Stab, who came to Arthur to share the story of his extraordinary life. The journals detail a slow massacre, a chain of events charting the history of Montana as it became a state. A cycle of violence that leads all the way back to 217 Blackfeet people murdered in the snow.

A blood-soaked and unflinching saga of the violence of colonial America, a revenge story like no other, and a chilling reinvention of vampire lore from a master of horror.
