The atmosphere in The Only Good Indians is unbelievably good. I did get confused during the basketball sections, but that’s more my complete lack of basketball knowledge than the book itself! Throughout the entire audiobook I stayed engaged and I didn’t get too lost at any point, even with the perspective shifts. I liked that he did a great job of making all the characters sound distinct enough that I didn’t need dialogue tags to be able to tell who was speaking, even in the high-tension moments. Shaun Taylor-Corbett does an excellent job narrating, and really brings all of the characters to life. I listened to the audiobook version of The Only Good Indians, and I absolutely recommend this book as an audio experience. Tracked by an entity bent on revenge, these childhood friends are helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a violent, vengeful way. Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians follows four American Indian men after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for their lives. Trigger Warnings: a LOT of graphic animal violence, graphic violence, alcohol abuse, hunting, murder, stalking (supernatural). Thanks to Whole Story QUEST for the audiobook review copy of this book, it has not affected my honest review.

When Netgalley announced audiobook review copies, I was all over it! And though I have criticisms for the Netgalley shelf app, I’m so glad I got my hands on this one! The Only Good Indians, written by Stephen Graham Jones and narrated by Shaun Taylor-Corbett, is a top notch horror story that works so well as an audiobook. Better to make every moment of the rest of a person’s life agony.
