Many indigenous peoples believe that you should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: Native Hawaiians, for example, believe that whistling summons Hukai’po, the spirit of an ancient warrior, while indigenous Mexicans believe that whistling summons Lechuza, a witch who can transform into an owl. But one thing all these legends have in common is that whistling at night can attract evil spirits, which can even follow you home.

These completely original, chilling stories introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monsters, complicated family legacies, acts of desperation and chilling acts of revenge.Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Aboriginal survival and imagination, and a brilliant carnival of all that an ill-timed whistle might summon.
