The Backbone of the World (Trespass collection) | Stephen Graham Jones
5 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
An American Indian woman’s past and future collide in unthinkable ways in this richly imagined short story of deep secrets and Lovecraftian horrors by a New York Times bestselling author.
Millie Two Bears lives alone in a trailer in the heart of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. Since her husband went to jail, she’s been on the outs with the reservation. And it’s not just people she has to contend with. Now the prairie dogs are moving in on her patch of land. When a strange woman comes into Millie’s life, and Millie’s rodent war escalates, a fateful confrontation with vengeance, secrets, and survival is just underfoot.
Stephen Graham Jones’s The Backbone of the World is part of Trespass, a collection of wild stories about animal instincts, human folly, and survival from award-winning, bestselling authors. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.

Well, this lil dally into horror was a bit of a fail. Interesting premise that took too much of a walk to get to, then crash ending that was bewildering. Maybe if you‘re into Lovecraft you‘ll get more from this?

JamieArc That was my experience with one of his other books… That‘s too bad. I really want to like his books. 2w

A few days late, hope it still counts 😉

“Eleven months after her husband Arthur swerved around a stopped school bus and mowed down two first graders and got sentenced to twenty years, Millie Two Bears went to war against the prairie dogs.“

My inadvertent month of short stories continues.

I realize that I am a SGJ fangirl, but being completely objective, this is good stuff. Well-written story of a woman in a very unhappy place in her life who decides to tackle a prairie dog incursion. A quick read, not overtly horror… but the creeping dread as the story unfurls is so good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
