Nick Medina's Sisters of the Lost Nation is a horror-thriller set on a reservation where young women are disappearing, following Anna as she investigates while confronting supernatural forces and all-too-human violence. Through a story blending Indigenous folklore with contemporary horror, Medina addresses the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The novel becomes both page-turner and political statement, proving that Indigenous horror can tackle real issues and that some monsters are systems, not just creatures.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Medina uses horror to address MMIW, showing that the real terror is what's being done to Indigenous women. This debut reminds us that Indigenous women deserve protection, that horror can be activism, and that some stories need to be told even when they're difficult.
