It makes a major contribution to the fast-growing field of Indigenous horror studies while providing context and meaning for authors, producers, practitioners, and audiences alike. Through fifteen fascinating chapters, this book explores the spectrum of Indigenous representation across time and genres, first unpacking the history of the tropes of the \"uncivilized Native,\" the \"Indian burial ground,\" and \"the Merciless Savage\" as they have played out in literature, film, and television over more than a century, before delving into the trajectory of Indigenous counternarratives of colonialism-as-monster. Through interviews and chapters exploring the slashers, dramas, documentaries, mysteries, and thrillers that have featured spirits, mutants, zombies, windigos, ghosts, and other fearsome figures, this book unsettles the horror genre and answers the question: Who are the real savages we should fear?\" - Heather Igloliorte, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Companion to Indigenous Art Histories in the United States and Canada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This ambitious edited volume makes a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary field of Indigenous studies and fills a gap in the scholarly study of horror films, novels, and television shows from the perspectives of other disciplines aligned with Indigenous studies.

Think of the “Indian burial ground” trope, a staple of 1970s horror cinema, not to mention decades of western films and fictions that made “savage Indians” the face of fear in popular culture. Can horror do something else in the hands of Indegnous people? Creators such as Eden Robinson and Jeff Barnaby have self-consciously turned to horror to tell new kinds of stories, stories that question who is a monster and what constitutes the monstrous. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorror and Indigeneity\u003c\/i\u003e explores representations of Indigenous people in settler horror texts and in the growing corpus of horror by Indigenous writers and filmmakers. Widely spanning time periods and media, the contributors to this edited volume address themes such as cannibalism, eco-horror, historical trauma, and contemporary anti-racism as they relate to classical horror cinema and recent works such as \u003ci\u003eThe Dead Can’t Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLovecraft Country\u003c\/i\u003e, and Stephen Graham Jones’s \u003ci\u003eThe Only Good Indians\u003c\/i\u003e.
