dragonofeternal: A skeleton reacting with shock and delight to a fallen autumn leaf (00 Skeleton leaf !!!)
Perhaps not exactly your cup of tea, but if you would like a horror novel with a bit of a literary bent to its prose and occasionally very darkly funny moments... I highly recommend THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS by Stephen Graham Jones. Jones is, himself, Blackfoot, and his story of a group of Blackfoot men hunted by the ghost of an elk they killed while hunting in lands reserved for elders in their community is both a tightly paced horror and a powerful look at Native American life and identity that refuses to lionize or demonize the struggles and mistakes of its characters. It's about basketball, revenge, cycles of violence, and the lengths parents will go to trying to do what's right for their children. Plus, the ghost of the elk is an incredible female character who, like the men she hunts, is both deeply sympathetic and incredibly flawed.
