The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

Summary

Framed as a rediscovered 1912 diary kept by a Lutheran pastor, the novel records the confessions of a Blackfeet man named Good Stab who recounts a long, vengeful existence shaped by vampirism. His story circles back to the 1870 Marias Massacre and the slaughter of the buffalo, turning historical atrocity against Native peoples into a tale of predation and revenge. Jones uses the vampire as a lens on colonial violence, hunger, and survival, weaving the past into a frame that reaches into the present.
