Two Native American authors will explore the myths, origins and meanings of Indigenous horror during a free talk at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Moscow Public Library, 110 S. Jefferson St.
University of Kansas professor Devon Mihesuah and Moscow poet Tiffany Midge, who both have related books out, will discuss “Indigenous Monsters.”
Mihesuah, an enrolled member of the Choctaw tribe, is the author of “The Hatak Witches” and, most recently, “The Bone Picker: Native Stories, Alternate Histories.”
Midge, a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, won the Two Sylvias Press Wilder Prize for her newest book, a comedy of horrors titled “Horns.”
“We will also be discussing origins of Indigenous ghost stories, where Indigenous horror intersect with regard to myths, legends, cultural relationships to past and present realities, and discuss how the chilling and macabre contribute to our lives,” Midge said via email.
