Books of 2024: BAD CREE by Jessica Johns.

I've been looking forward to this one since just before the hardback release! I'm generally more of a paperback person, so I snatched it up on paperback release day.

books i read in 2024: bad cree by jessica johns

We let Sabrina go into the dark woods, and we didn't go in after her. I didn't turn back when I felt the pang of wrongness in my bones, because sometimes fear is so deep it convinces you that yelling sounds like the crunch of sticks, the whip of tree branches, the sound of boots running. We didn't go in after her. We let her become a raven.

Sometimes, a story is set in a place that isn't just a location. It's a character. How do places come alive? We discuss hauntings, homelands, and what it means to write a landscape that is more than backdrop. Joining us is Jesscia Johns, author of Bad Cree, to talk about how place figures into her novel about a monster who stalks Treaty 8 territory in Alberta, Canada.

Bad Cree by Jessica Johns: a #review of a #DarkFantasy story of grief and healing by an #Indigenous author

A review by Nalini Haynes Mackenzie wakes from a nightmare, holding part of a crow. (My stomach clenches. Is this THAT kind of book? THAT kind of horror?) She worries that she’s a bad Cree, a Cree who left her family in mourning, who didn’t return for her sister’s funeral. Now she dreams of her sister, of crows, of a snowy landscape. Despite my growing concern that this is a “real” horror, I keep…

Katherine is reading Bad Cree by Jessica Johns:

When Mackenzie wakes up with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow-covered forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears.   Night after night, Mackenzie’s dreams return her to a memory from before her sister Sabrina’s untimely death: a weekend at the family’s lakefront campsite, long obscured by a fog of guilt. But when the waking world starts closing in, too—a murder of crows stalks her every move around the city, she wakes up from a dream of drowning throwing up water, and gets threatening text messages from someone claiming to be Sabrina—Mackenzie knows this is more than she can handle alone. Traveling north to her rural hometown in Alberta, she finds her family still steeped in the same grief that she ran away to Vancouver to escape. They welcome her back, but their shaky reunion only seems to intensify her dreams—and make them more dangerous. What really happened that night at the lake, and what did it have to do with Sabrina’s death? Only a bad Cree would put their family at risk, but what if whatever has been calling Mackenzie home was already inside?

Bad Cree by: Jessica Johns

Bad Cree by: Jessica Johns

Published by: Doubleday Books I’ll start this off by saying I don’t know if this was for me or not, but the horror just didn’t do it for me. My biggest issue is the fact that this is supposed to be an adult novel but the writing really feels like YA. The voice of the character, who is in her early twenties, doesn’t feel like that. It’s more like a seventeen year old. Which was a bit…
