White Horse is a gritty, vibrant debut from Erika T. Wurth about an Urban Native woman who must face her past when she discovers a bracelet haunted by her mother' s spirit. Some people are haunted in more ways than one. Heavy metal, ripped jeans, Stephen King novels, and the occasional beer at the White Horse have defined urban Indian Kari James' s life so far. But when her cousin Debby finds an old family bracelet that once belonged to Kari' s mother, it inadvertently calls up both her mother' s ghost and a monstrous entity, and her willful ignorance about her past is no longer sustainable. . . Haunted by visions of her mother and hunted by this mysterious creature, Kari must search for what happened to her mother all those years ago. Her father, permanently disabled from a car crash, can' t help her. Her Auntie Squeaker seems to know something but isn' t eager to give it all up at once. Debby' s anxious to help, but her controlling husband keeps getting in the way. Kari' s journey toward a truth long denied by both her family and law enforcement forces her to confront her dysfunctional relationships, thoughts about a friend she lost in childhood, and her desire for the one thing she' s always wanted but could never have.
"It' s metal to the end, it' s Denver to the core, it' s Native without trying, there' s ghosts, there' s blood, there' s roller coasters, and there' s about a thousand cigarettes smoked. What else can you ask for in a novel? " --Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good IndiansThis ghost story is a perfect example of new wave horror that will also satisfy fans of classic Stephen King. --Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and Mexican GothicAn unapologetic world of dive bars, dark secrets, and true life horrors. I became completely enthralled. . . . Wurth [is] an exciting new voice in literary horror. --Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of Black SunFamily ties are made from rusty barbed wire in White Horse, a book that feels as welcome as a dark bar on a hot afternoon, and whose story burns like a shot of rotgut whiskey. --Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group
