"A wonderful collection of stories that will set all of us to thinking." —George A. Romero, legendary horror director of Night of the Living Dead.In this revised and expanded edition, Tribal Screams offers works of horror and fantasy that stem from the dark imagination of Owl Goingback, the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of the critically-acclaimed supernatural thrillers Crota, Breed, and Coyote Rage. In these compact tales and poems, he delivers accounts of monsters, mayhem, and madness: some set in lands once inhabited by ancient peoples and haunted by their myths and legends, others firmly set in a modern world where people have strayed too far from themselves.In "Grass Dancer," a Nebula Award nominee for best short story, a Kiowa soldier''s courage in the Vietnam War inspires his disabled brother to face his greatest fears. A drug-addicted predator, who thinks he has nothing left to lose, seals his own fate in "Ashes." Humor infuses the whimsical "Animal Sounds," the tale of a Cherokee medicine man who barters with cannibal skeletons to save his tribe from starvation. And in the chilling ghost story "Last Man in Line," a modern fraternity initiation set at the site of a Civil War POW camp leads its participant to a haunting revelation.The stories and poems in this volume, some never before collected, will transport readers to worlds and circumstances beyond the paper-thin veil of reality, where spirits prowl and revel."Like the best horror stories, they offer a mix of catalysts, problems and outcomes, and they are all distinct and captivating." —Dark Dispatch
