Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr., in conversation on his new novel The El (Vintage Books, 2025). A love letter to our city of Chicago, The El follows a group of teen gang members in August 1979 as they travel across the city to a summit where gangs plan to join forces. But the reality is less like the movie The Warriors and more like the creation of a corporate structure, and leader Teddy—a devoted reader and the only Indigenous member of the gang—has to rely on his book smarts, street smarts, and the guiding spirit of Coyote to find a way to their next destination.  Van Alst Jr. is also the author of a stunning trilogy of “mosaic novels” of linked short stories, also starring his semi-autobiographical character Teddy: Sacred Smokes (2018), Sacred City (2021), and Sacred Folks (2024). In our conversation, we learn how the author's depiction of Teddy evolved to include more and more voices, and how literature can help us recover the past, see the future, and appreciate the “magic light.” Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. (enrolled member, Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians) is the co-editor of Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology (Vintage). He is the award-winning author of the trilogy Sacred Smokes, Sacred City, and Sacred Folks as well as the editor of The Faster Redder Road: The Best UnAmerican Stories of Stephen Graham Jones (2015), all from the University of New Mexico Press. His novella Pour One for the Devil: A Gothic Novella was published in 2024 from Lanternfish Press. You can check out titles by Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. here at the Library as part of our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show. Find out more about Ted on his website or his Instagram @TVAyyyy. We hope you enjoy our 68th interview episode! ​​Each month (or so), we release an episode featuring a conversation with an author, artist, or other notable guests from Chicagoland or around the world.

Henry is an aspiring ghost hunter on the cusp of social media fame in the novel, "The Whistler", by Nick Medina (Tunica-Biloxi). As the title suggests, he tempts fate by intentionally whistling into the night, provoking an evil entity that turns his life upside down and forces him to confront his past wrongdoing. Daniel H. Wilson (Cherokee) imagines a frightening alien invasion where first contact happens in the middle of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma in "Hole in the Sky". And Stephen Graham Jones (Blackfeet) slices open the real horrors of the late 1800s Indian Wars in "The Buffalo Hunter Hunter" with a tortured monster that wreaks vengeance on soldiers responsible for the Marias Massacre and the extermination of the buffalo. These are a few new horror novels written by Indigenous authors that we are putting on the Native Bookshelf for this year's spooky season.

Daniel chats with horror author Stephen Graham Jones where they talk about his most recent novel, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter; comic book allegories; and how to explore taboos and superstitions by writing scary stories.Episode Transcript and Show Notes: http://wichitalibrary.org/BooksMore/Podcast/Pages/rrr_s5e5.aspx

What makes folk horror so unsettling? This episode maps the weird woods: isolated settings, old customs that refuse to die, and the outsider who realizes too late they can't leave. Shereen arrives a skeptic; Meaghan leads the tour—through forests, farmlands, and edge-of-the-map towns where tradition presses against modern life.We unpack how setting becomes a character, why slow dread beats jump scares, and how folk horror pits the past against the present. We also explore how the subgenre is evolving—think eco-anxieties and even tech-resistant towns—and share a stack of must-reads and must-watches that capture the vibe: Brom's Slewfoot, Stephen Graham Jones's The Only Good Indians, A.M. Shine's The Watchers, plus The Wicker Man and The Village. If you've ever walked into a place that felt “off” for reasons you couldn't name, this one's for you.

In this chilling episode of The Book Fix, we dive into Stephen Graham Jones' haunting novella Mapping the Interior. Blending horror with sharp commentary on identity, grief, and family, this story takes listeners deep into a house that's far more than it seems.The book follows a fifteen-year-old boy who one night glimpses a figure moving through his home—someone who looks eerily like his late father, who died mysteriously years earlier. As the boy follows the apparition, he uncovers unsettling truths: the house is larger, stranger, and darker than he ever realized. Determined to chart its shifting rooms and corridors, he begins “mapping the interior,” but his exploration soon entangles his younger brother in terrifying danger. What starts as a desperate attempt to connect with his father becomes a harrowing journey of sacrifice, survival, and the heavy cost of protecting family.

According to bestselling horror author Stephen Graham Jones, good stories don't happen in heaven — they happen in hell. His latest novel, “The Buffalo Hunter Hunter,” is a chilling historical vampire story based on real events that happened to the Blackfeet Nation in the United States. Stephen joins guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the metaphorical link between vampires and colonialism, and what it really means to be a vampire. Plus, he opens up about his frustrations with the media putting Indigenous stories in a “sacred space,” and the damage that does to storytelling. If you're looking for more from Stephen, check out Talia's conversation with him from last year.

Stephen Graham Jones is a Blackfeet Native American author of experimental fiction, horror fiction, crime fiction, and science fiction. His works include the horror novels The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, The Only Good Indians, My Heart Is a Chainsaw, and Night of the Mannequins among many others.  SGJ Instagram Buy Stephen's Books

In this episode, Stephen and Mark explore the layered, intelligent, and gut wrenching horror novel, "Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by Stephen Graham Jones.  A Native American revenge story with a supernatural twist, Buffalo Hunter Hunter is as deep and thought provoking as it is horrific, disgusting, and occasionally hilarious in the most awkward ways. A thought provoking story needs a thought provoking whiskey. To pair with Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Stephen and Mark will be sampling In Lieu of Flowers whiskey by Dancing Goat Distillery.   Stephen Graham Jones | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster   Dancing Goat Distillery

It's always great when Stephen Graham Jones comes to Talk Scared with us – but for once we aren't talking about slashers!   No, this time, we're talking vampires! Or are we?   Stephen's new novel, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, is his best yet. Or at least the one that I love the most. It's an epic and brutal saga of American history and shame, told through three very distinctive voices, speaking across the centuries. There are monsters with fangs AND with flags.   We talk about Stephen's relationship with so-called Indian stories…about his use and misuse of animals in fiction, and the white-knuckle, red-hot writing style that leads to some truly crazy things.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   Ledfeather (2008), by Stephen Graham Jones The Only Good Indians (2020), by Stephen Graham Jones The Babysitter Lives / Killer on the Road (2025), by Stephen Graham Jones Ceremony (1977), by Leslie Marmon Silko Riddley Walker (1980), by Russell Hoban A Game of Thrones (1996), by George R.
