The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

By: Stephen Graham Jones

Narrated by: Shane Ghostkeeper, Marin Ireland, Owen Teale

An instant New York Times bestseller, a chilling historical horror novel tracing the life of a vampire who haunts the fields of the Blackfeet reservation looking for justice.

A diary, written in 1912 by a Lutheran Pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Told in transcribed interviews by a Blackfeet named Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.©2025 Stephen Graham Jones (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

another gem

I always enjoy Stephen Graham Jones works. This is no exception. Highly recommend this if you enjoy horror fiction. It will not disappoint.

Compelling story

I like this author very much. I really liked the overall narrative arc. The details about how the main characters lived were interesting and their context was well developed. The violence seemed excessive and definitely gratuitous at times.

Another outstanding book by Stephen Graham Jones!

Can’t say enough good things about this listen. Story and narrators were excellent. Can’t wait to see what’s next from SGJ!

Authenticity

I loved this in its entirety. The characters, the development of the story line as well as the feeling that I was there.

Couldn’t put it down

Incredible performances, and Stephen’s vampires are such a special kind of dark and grotesque. This story broke my heart, disgusted me, excited me, and I found myself late to meetings just to listen to it for a little bit longer. Definitely my new favorite among his works.

the storytelling

was, per SGJs style, one of the most profound I've heard Ever from start to finish

Compelling Story, unique format, genre blending, excellent narration

This is a tremendous listen and read. Compelling, haunting, thoughtful, challenging—everything you could ask for in a genre blending novel. The narration is exceptional and the narrative will stick with you. Highly recommend.

A brilliant novel with an outstanding production

I loved every little detail about this story, and the audio production kicks it up a notch. I cannot recommend this audiobook enough.

Amazing

What a wonderful take on a vampire story. The underlying messages of religion and colonization… so good… 10 out of 10

Beautifully Written Horror

In this beautifully written horror novel you get multiple genres for the price of 1. You get Native American mythology, a fresh take on the vampire, a Western, an Epistolary, a thriller, and at its core, pure Horror. Mr. Jones has taken one of America's darkest chapters and deftly demonstrated its true monstrous nature in a way that borders on satire. And he's done this while still delivering a story that compels the reader with a plotline that is difficult to disengage from when the reading must be done for the day. I can't say enough good things about this book. I enjoyed it much in the same way that I enjoyed Seth Grahame-Smith's "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter." As for the narration, I enjoyed it mostly. Owen Teale's Welsh accent muddied a few words but overall his actor's instincts really made Arthur's character come alive for me. Marin Ireland was good too. But Shane Ghostkeeper?...perfection.
