Ghost Girls and Rabbits by Cassondra Windwalker

Flush with the victory of winning the election as Alaska's first Athabaskan Senator, Noni Begay wakes to find herself buried alive. When her coffin lid opens, though, it's not to rescue but to six years of captivity, betrayed by the one person she trusted most. Escape will require not only all her strength but all the strength and stories of the ancestors she had until now imagined were only a useful device, an accessory she wore to win votes and social media followers.

Mary Nelson's only daughter, Ryska, went missing ten years ago, with no one but her mother to search for her. Having used up every favor and chit she has, Mary is willing to risk everything on one last ploy to save her daughter from the monsters...even if she has to become one herself.

A chilling psychological horror novel excoriating the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in North America, Ghost Girls and Rabbits is an unforgettable read perfect for fans of Scandinavian noir and literary horror, told by two fractured minds in the trappings of myths truer than mirrors.

Praise for Ghost Girls and Rabbits

"Brutally silent and unflinchingly loud. With barely a line of dialogue, in Ghost Girls and Rabbits the voices of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women scream to be heard, and Cassondra Windwalker says their names." -Lindy Ryan, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Bless Your Heart

"Cassondra Windwalker's Ghost Girls and Rabbits draws you into a mystical tangle of anguish and devotion from the very first page, weaving its way into your heart as you travel alongside the women it portrays, heartbroken yet hopeful, ensnared yet compassionate. This novel shines a light on the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, exploring the desperation of those left behind and their frustration at existing in a world that does not recognize their pain or properly acknowledge the very issue itself. In Ghost Girls and Rabbits the reader explores this world through an entrancing lens of lore and the enduring bond forged between two wandering souls." -Elizabeth Devecchi, author of A Whisper in the Dark
