REVIEW

Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology

Compiled and edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Last Jr.

This collection of twenty-six short stories provides an interesting and different look at some issues I have never thought about. In reading through reviews of this work I found that some reviewers  were able to relate to more of the stories than other readers and some readers were unable to relate much at all. Most went into reading believing the stories would be scary, horror stories, or put them on edge – some did, and some didn’t, in my opinion.

The stories that had the biggest impact on me were:

* KASHTUKA by Mathilda Zeller in which a young woman is pushed by her mother to go with someone she doesn’t want to be with to cook and help with a party. A ghost/scary story is told briefly and seems to allow a Kashtuka to materialize and kill a few people – the twist at the end was a grabber indeed.

* WHITE HILLS by Rebecca Roanhorse looks at what a woman might do to maintain a better quality of life than she was raised in. I hated Marissa’s mother-in-law and husband and really questioned the decision she made at the end of the story.

* SNAKES ARE REBORN IN THE DARK by D.H. Trujillo’s story brought in a bit of magic and touch of horror while talking about respecting and honoring ancient wall/cave paintings.

* BEFORE I GO by Norris Black dealt with grief and loss and made me hope I never run into Mother Night.

* DEAD OWLS by Mona Susan Power is a cold story with ghostly encounters that I hope to never experience myself.

* NAVAJOS DON’T WEAR ELK TEETH by Conley Lyons was dark and disturbing with a main character I wanted to shake and tell to spend time with someone else…someone safer, less abusive, and better for him…that had a darker ending too.

* WINGLESS by Marcie R. Rendon dealt with two boys in a foster care situation no child should find themselves in. I cringe thinking about that story and hoped at the end they both found a brighter future somewhere somehow.

There were a LOT of stories and though I couldn’t relate to all of them, the stories above were the ones that stood out the most to me and will linger longer.

Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group for the ARC – this is my honest review.

CHAPTER 2, ACT 6 - SIBLING RIVALRY

(The five of us are being flown out by Charles again, currently flying over the base first squadron on the hitlist, the Shadow Tide.)

Alright guys, here's the plan. Just like last time, you'll parachute down to the base and enter through the top. This time, I'll land my helicopter in a secure area where they won't detect me on their radar, instead of crashing it, as this chopper isn't one of my usual disposable ones.

Great. We doing this?

Actually, I have some intel on the place that you should know. Apparently the base has some kind of signal jammer-type system that blocks all spirits, beast forms, and exoskeleton abilities from working...but Kyle isn't on that blacklist. Your brothers apparently didn't think you'd get anything like that, too, so you can use your abilites as much as you'd like.

Nice. Let's move, team.

(We all jump out of the helicopter and land on the roof. Violet tries to use Leadhead to cut a hole in the roof, but the power-blocker seems to have blocked Violet's sword from working, too.)

Drat! Kyle, can you write anything with that pen of yours?

You bet I can.

(I quickly whip out my fountain pen spirit, Storyteller, write the words "entryway hatch" on the roof's surface, and the words turn into a hatch we can go through, which we all do. Upon entry, we all see a door that says "Meeting Room". I kick open the door, and we find that all 20 of the squadrons' leaders are there. I quickly use Storyteller again and write "beanbag chair", which spawns in a beanbag chair for me to relax in while the CSB handle each squadron's leaders.)

Ahhh...nice to finally relax. It's not like I don't want to help the CSB, I'd already be up if that was the case. However, this time they don't need my help at the moment, so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the bloodbath.

(Not too long after, the CSB win the fight. The CSB didn't kill any of them, but they did heavily injure them, with all of them having at least two broken limbs. I suddenly notice a microphone on the desk which says "P.A. System Mic" on it. I quickly grab it and start speaking over the loudspeakers.)

Hello, Blackjacks! This is Kyle Gibbons, representative of the ColorStreak Battalion speaking. We just seriously wounded your leaders. They're not dead, but if you don't allow us to leave here and unconceal the location of this base, we will kill them. Trust us, we'd really rather not kill them.

(I cut the mic, and they comply with our demands. We walk out of the front door of the building, and I pin up a written note onto a corkboard near the entrance that my brothers were using for plan ideas, given the label that says "POSSIBLE PLAN IDEAS" placed above it. We then head to Charles' heli, and he is absolutely THRILLED with our work.)

That. Was. Insane. You guys are amazing with this stuff!

Hey, don't sell yourself short, Charles. You did pretty good, too.

Agreed. You've got some serious skills when you're in the air, Charles.

Aw, shucks, you guys...Anyways, let's head back to the base. Aaron is gonna love this!

CHAPTER 2, ACT 6 COMPLETE!

Achievement Set Unlocked: "Operation: Hounds Slumber"

Achievement Unlocked: "House Of Blackjack Cards"

DISPLAYING ACT EPILOUGE...

(My brothers, Nicholas Zingone and Justin Gibbons, head to the base. They open the door to find that they've been hit by us!)

What the---?! Oh my god, you're kidding me. They got us?!

(sigh) Figures. We leave the base for only a few minutes to get some supplies, and Kyle and his little ragtag group of OC misfits hit us.

Wait...what's that on the corkboard?

(Justin sees the note I left, takes it off the corkboard, and reads it with Nick.)

Hey guys! Been a while since we had a little family reunion like this, hasn't it?

Me and the ColorStreak Battalion were a bit rough with some of the guests, though. They were apparently "squadron leaders" for you? Whatever the case, we didn't kill them, but I'm pretty sure they'll be in full-body casts for...I dunno. A month? Maybe two? Anyways, I'm glad to hear you two are in town, because the reunion's not over. If anything, this party's just getting started.

✍🏼Kyle Gibbons()✍🏼

(Nick grabs the note, turns it into a paper airplane, then hands it to Justin, who flies it into a nearby file cabinet marked "Items That May Come In Handy Later".)

He always knows how to get under our skin...

Yeah, he does. And I hate it.

Just wanted to add a thought about the Friends and Heroes. They all sounded and looked great too. I‘d actually seen Martina and Tracy back when they were popular. They were just as good now. It made me think that Blake probably came up with the FH idea after Earl Thomas Conley passed. He said it hit him hard that Earl’s legacy would be forgotten and younger people wouldn’t know his music. Older artists get so few big opportunities even when they perform just as well as before. Kudos to Blake for doing this. I enjoyed watching these people perform as much as I did the first time. Everyone else (including younger people) seemed to really enjoy it too.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the show! I’ve been catching videos that people have posted, and they are amazing. Tracy moved me to tears with Keeper of the Stars, especially when the crowd sang the chorus. This tour is something really special. I hope Blake continues this format for years to come.

Kaden : Hey, look finger gu-. Maia, everything okay?

Maia : *sigh* It’s just - you didn’t seem to excited about the baby K, this might be our last baby. 

Kaden : It’s just that - 

Maia : I’m not finished... Kaden, I truly love you. I married you and had two great kids with you. But, I know the feeling isn’t totally mutual. You don’t sleep in our bed anymore, you don’t wait in the morning for me anymore. I didn’t plan on this - so when I found out, I was speechless. I couldn’t believe it Kaden.

Trump’s lies don’t fly

Well if there’s one thing no one can accuse Trump of, it’s avoiding digging deeper holes. After a divisive pandemic strategy that resulted in over 200,000 American dead, Trump cemented his legacy of failing to control the virus by taking to his favourite soapbox Twitter to announce both he and Melania had tested positive.

In the following days, the couple were joined by various other visitors to the White House in contracting the virus, including senior advisors Stephen Miller, Chris Christie and Kellyanne Conway. Rumours swirl over whether everyone who tested positive have actually been announced by the White House, as Conway’s case was only ‘announced’ by her daughter over TikTok. The general distrust around the administration’s response was only compounded when the President’s doctor was asked about Trump’s condition and the care he was receiving.

Initially insisting that oxygen wasn’t administered as a treatment, Doctor Sean Conley contradicted himself 24 hours later, explaining that he “was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, that his course of illness has had,”. The lies continued, with a picture of Trump appearing to sign blank pieces of paper with a sharpie and a video of him returning to the White House and yet still seemingly struggling to breath went viral.

With Trump’s approval rating hovering around 43% and two thirds of Americans either somewhat or very worried about coronavirus, Trump’s clear lack of precautions to prevent his infection and a laughable attempt to conceal the truth from the public don’t bode well for a President facing the ballot box in the coming month.
