Night Wanderer: A Native Gothic Novel
Night Wanderer: A Native Gothic Novel | Drew Hayden Taylor
4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Nothing ever happens on the Otter Lake reservation. But when 16-year-old Tiffany discovers her father is renting out her room, she s deeply upset. Sure, their guest is polite and keeps to himself, but he s also a little creepy. Little do Tiffany, her father, or even her astute Granny Ruth suspect the truth. The mysterious Pierre L Errant is actually a vampire, returning to his tribal home after centuries spent in Europe. But Tiffany has other things on her mind: her new boyfriend is acting weird, disputes with her father are escalating, and her estranged mother is starting a new life with somebody else. Fed up and heartsick, Tiffany threatens drastic measures and flees into the bush. There, in the midnight woods, a chilling encounter with L Errant changes everything ... for both of them. A mesmerizing blend of Gothic thriller and modern coming-of-age novel, The Night Wanderer is unlike any other vampire story."

1/5⭐ The prologue and first chapter were promising, but then chapter two stagnates into the inane, repetitive POV of the main character. #booked2022

I finished THE NIGHT WANDERER at lunch and took it on my bike ride specifically so I could pop it in the first Little Free Library I came to. This one‘s normally well-curated, but it looks like somebody cleaned it out. I was glad to help ‘em rebuild the collection.

The book ended really well, but there were times before that when I thought the original stage play would‘ve been more effective. Still, I‘d point it out to folks looking for vampires.

Hurray for Friday book hauls! I took a fabulous early bike ride through a new-to-me area and found the tagged book in a Little Free Library. The public library had just opened as I reached that point in the route, so I also popped in there to get some poetry and an opera.

Finished this one today - I‘m not sure why I chose to read the novel version instead of the graphic novel, but I enjoyed it. The main character was a little off-putting in her angst, but the story was great.

BookishMe Will recommend this to a friend who enjoys vampire stories ;)) 6y
