Dark anthology shines a light on diversity of Indigenous traditions

Spooky season might be winding down, but the nights are still long and dark. A new groundbreaking dark fiction anthology aims to illuminate a perspective on horror we may not hear often.

“Never Whistle at Night” is a collection of short stories by Indigenous writers. The co-editor, Theodore Van Alst Jr., is a member of Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, and also the chair of Indigenous Nations Studies at Portland State University. He joined OPB’s “Weekend Edition” host, Lillian Karabaic, to talk about the book, which has spent eight weeks straight on the indie bestsellers list and is going into its 10th printing.
