Critics Review
“Nick Medina writes gripping horror-thrillers braided with Native American folklore, and Savage Lake might be his best yet.”—CrimeReads
“Nick Medina has become one of today’s leading Indigenous suspense writers.”—Tulalip News
“Nick Medina remains one of the most entertaining, ambitious, and exciting storytellers working in the genre right now.”—Bloody Disgusting
“Medina takes the cabin in the woods, the slasher rulebook and the Bigfoot hunt, and turns each one towards the horror none of those stories prepare you for. A measured start gives way to a novel of real grief and real nerve.”—Ginger Nuts of Horror
