Shane Hawk

Welcome to Anoka, Minnesota, a small city just outside of the Twin Cities dubbed "The Halloween Capital of the World" since 1937. Here before you lie several tales involving bone collectors, pagan witches, werewolves, skeletal bison, and cloned children. It is up to you to decipher between fact and fiction as the author has woven historical facts into his narratives. With his debut horror collection, Cheyenne and Arapaho author Shane Hawk explores themes of family, grief, loneliness, and identity through the lens of indigenous life.

A Collection of Indigenous Horror

Anoka

Sabrina D. 

To calm down and find his center, Chaska recited a prayer his grandfather made him memorize as a child: 

Help me remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes toward me. 

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy myself
