Sir Simon, the vaunted Canterville Ghost, has had years of success haunting the family mansion, centuries of wailing moans, rattling chains and phantasmagoria... and what should the Canterville family do, but sell up the house! But it gets worse! They've sold the house to Americans! And they aren't impressed by his tricks! They tell him to oil his chains! They throw pillows at his head! They ambush him in the parlour! They even removed the much vaunted bloodstain of Lady Caterville with detergent cleaner! What is a self respecting spook to do!? This can't go on!

  Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. 
   
   
   
  As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. 
   
   
   
  While some of the horrors told here are "real life" in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.
