A young Cree woman’s dreams lead her on a perilous journey of self-discovery that ultimately forces her to confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her community, and the land they call home . . .
Haunting, fierce, and an ode to friendships among women and femmes and the strength found in kinship, Bad Cree is a gripping and arresting debut novel tinged with supernatural horror where dreams, family, and spirits collide.
"With Bad Cree, Johns demonstrates that it’s possible to craft a bone-chilling novel that has, at its core, a warm, beating heart." -- Quill & Quire
