The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
A Bram Stoker Award-winning historical horror novel structured as a nested series of confessions, following a Blackfeet vampire seeking vengeance across the brutal frontier era of the American West. The book is deeply rooted in the real Marias Massacre of 1870 and carries pervasive, graphic content across nearly every major sensitivity category.
Chapters to know about

The mass killing of buffalo is depicted and forms the thematic core of Good Stab's origin; a named, companion-like buffalo is among those killed.
A scene depicts a male victim sexually assaulted by two settler men in graphic physical detail; all three are then killed by the point-of-view character; additional sexual assault content appears elsewhere in the historical narrative.
