Crota
A great novel that combines horror and Indian mythology
Sheriff Skip Harding is investigating a double murder that has shaken the quiet town of Logan, Missouri. The slaughter seems too brutal to be perpetrated by a human. Was it a bear? But there are no bears in the area... The bodies are piling up and Skip soon discovers that bullets are useless against this enemy. Only with the help of park ranger Jay Little Hawk and the wisdom of Lakota shaman George Strong Eagle can he stop the monster before it's too late. The story mixes elements of action, horror and Indian mythology. The novel won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel and was also a finalist for Best Novel.
Owl Goingback
Owl Goingback is the author of novels, children's books, short stories and articles. He also works as a ghostwriter for celebrities. His novel Crota won the 1996 Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. He was nominated for the same award for his novel Darker Than Night (1999). Owl's novel Shaman Moon was published as part of the omnibus The Essential World of Darkness. Owl's books are often based on Native American heritage - he himself has Choctaw and Cherokee genes - and tell stories full of supernatural suspense. The author's children's books Eagle Feathers and The Gift have been critically acclaimed, and Owl won a Storytelling World Awards Honor. His shorter fiction has appeared in countless anthologies and his short story Grass Dancer was nominated for a Nebula Award. His other works include the collection Tribal Screams and the novel Breed. The second Bram Stoker Award, this time for the best novel of 2019, twenty-three years after the first award, went to Coyote Rage (2019). It was with this book that the author, through the Golden Dog publishing house, first introduced himself to Czech readers and was able to show them his specific, at first glance straightforward, yet fantastic, but above all original style that he uses in horror.
