About Anoka
Product Description Welcome to Anoka, Minnesota, a small city just outside of the Twin Cities dubbed “The Halloween Capital of the World” since 1937. Here before you lie several tales involving bone collectors, pagan witches, werewolves, skeletal bison, and cloned children. It is up to you to decipher between fact and fiction as the author has woven historical facts into his narratives. With his debut horror collection, Cheyenne & Arapaho author Shane Hawk explores themes of family, grief, loneliness, and identity through the lens of indigenous life.MY GRANDMA'S BLURB:"Please find another hobby. This is too horrible for words. How can you imagine someone enjoying this?" Review "Please find another hobby. This is too horrible for words. How can you imagine someone enjoying this?" --My skeptical, yet supportive grandma "The stories in Anoka are scary and funny and gruesome and fantastic but feel true. The short collection is filled with big ideas. Its stories make you think, make you not want to think about what you just read. The writing is sharp throughout. Pay attention to Cheyenne Arapaho author Shane Hawk, he's going to write great, horrible things." --Tommy Orange, author of THERE THERE "While I don't read much horror, the vibrancy of these stories immediately impressed me. The voice in these six stories is urgent, insistent, and unrelenting, and I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished each one." --David Heska Wanbli Weiden, author of WINTER COUNTS "The voice here is quiet, breathy, big-brass-ballsy, befogged, benighted, believable. The stories stick and poke like an infected tattoo you got done in your friend's basement. They look cool and terrible, hurt like hell and are remembered with little shudders and slit-eyed grins. Get this book. Stick it in your pocket, carry it around, and read it when you need a jolt. It'll get you where you need to be." --Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr., author of SACRED SMOKES "Anoka is a place of many meanings, and here many meetings, as horrors creep from unexpected shadows. While each appears in this real place, they carry from the people through whose eyes we see this world. The stories coil around us, feeding unease. Personal standouts were 'Imitate,' a tale that sinks into doppelgangers, identity, and uncertainty, and 'Transfigured.'" --Hailey Piper, author of THE WORM AND HIS KINGS About the Author Shane Hawk is an emerging horror author of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.
