"Story to story, Never Whistle at Night never failed to surprise, delight, and shock me. I'm a big fan of stories that make you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff with a stranger's fingers on the tip of your spine—and this anthology has that ungoverned, go-for-broke aesthetic that I love."

"Never Whistle at Night is all I've ever wanted in an Indigenous horror anthology. From doubles, to Empty People, to story theft, to zombies, this anthology explores the horror that lives in colonial violence, generational love and trauma, and our everyday lives. It's a joy to see such a diverse representation of experience, background, and style in this carefully-curated and terrifying collection."

“This groundbreaking anthology showcases to the world that Indigenous horror has many faces, and these powerful stories are a horror lover’s dream: each one singular and heartfelt, carving new storytelling pathways that feel both unique and universal, haunting and healing. It’s impossible to guess what’s coming next, and that unpredictability is so central to why horror is such a powerful genre as we all confront life’s terrors.”

"I've increasingly come to suspect that the best work in contemporary Horror is being written by Indigenous writers, and Never Whistle at Night makes me certain of this. Consisting of more than two dozen stories by turns fierce and strange—sometimes about storytelling, sometimes political, sometimes just very, very unsettling—this is a deeply satisfying anthology."

"The combination of folklore and the travails of contemporary life is potent. Hard-edged and dread-inducing, Never Whistle at Night showcases major horror talent."

"The stories in Never Whistle at Night go for broke and then keep on going. If it's over the top horror you want, you'll find it. If subtle and restrained scares are more to your taste, you find them, too. No matter the story, though, you're in for fierce, fine writing that leaves its mark deep in the folds of your brain. Shane Hawk and Theodore Van Alst have put together a powerhouse of a book; I'm privileged to have read it."

"An extensive collection of Indigenous stories ranging from the humorous to the terrifying, this anthology is a must-read for everyone. Your new favorite author is absolutely in this book."

"Melodious, haunting, and visceral, Never Whistle at Night enchants from the very start with fiery confidence and merciless ghosts. These are stories that dig their fingers inside you and carve something truly special. An absolute must-read."

"Can you draw power from the spirit of a story? If the twenty-six tales in the essential Never Whistle at Night are any indication, the answer is an emphatic yes. The title itself provides its own warning, but I’ll go one step further: Never read this collection of spine-chilling stories alone at night. You just might not make it to morning."

"This volume is a must for any library collection and will be devoured by speculative fiction fans who enjoy a sprinkle of social commentary within their scary books."

"This collection is entertaining and thought-provoking, especially in its highlighting of the lurking terrors confronting Indigenous peoples today."

"This anthology is perfect for those who’ve enjoyed Indigenous horror authors like Stephen Graham Jones, who provided the book’s introduction, and want to discover more."

"Hawk and Van Alst present a heavy-hitting arrangement of 26 twisted tales from established and emerging Indigenous North American authors. Lifting up an exciting array of authors, this anthology will be a treat for horror fans."

"I confess that I don’t know much about the editors, Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr., but if this is what they can do together then I hope they will do more. Their taste is extraordinary, and they’ve put together a wonderful book. I mean, yes, pick it up because it is important to support projects like this, because sales will tell the publishers to keep it up. But also, get this book because it showcases some truly exceptional writing. If you love short fiction, you really shouldn’t miss it."

"Never Whistle at Night, right from the outset, weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of melody, haunting elements, and raw intensity. It exudes a passionate confidence while introducing unforgiving apparitions. These narratives delve into your soul, sculpting something profoundly unique. It is an unequivocal essential for any reader who isn’t afraid of the dark."
