Erika T. Wurth's White Horse is a gritty, vibrant debut novel about an Indigenous woman who must face her past when she discovers a bracelet haunted by her mother’s spirit.
Some people are haunted in more ways than one.
Kari James, Urban Native, is a fan of heavy metal, ripped jeans, Stephen King novels, and dive bars. She spends most of her time at her favorite spot in Denver, the White Horse. When her cousin Debby finds an old family bracelet that once belonged to Kari’s mother, it inadvertently calls up both her mother’s ghost and a monstrous entity, and her willful ignorance about her past is no longer sustainable…
Haunted by visions of her mother and hunted by this mysterious creature, Kari must search for what happened to her mother all those years ago. Her father, permanently disabled from a car crash, can’t help her. Her Auntie Squeaker seems to know something but isn’t eager to give it all up at once. Debby’s anxious to help, but her controlling husband keeps getting in the way. Kari’s journey toward a truth long denied by both her family and law enforcement forces her to confront her dysfunctional relationships, thoughts about a friend she lost in childhood, and her desire for the one thing she’s always wanted but could never have.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An ancient artifact looms at the centre of this page-turning ghost story from rising horror star Erika T. Wurth. Kari James is a hard-drinking, sharp-tongued waitress in a Native American community in Denver. Kari lives in the moment, trying to avoid thinking about her past—especially the mother who abandoned her as a child. But that all changes when her cousin gives her an heirloom bracelet from her mother’s ancestors; it gives Kari visions of an alarming and mysterious world. Set to a heavy metal soundtrack, this chilling audiobook brilliantly blends traditional horror tropes with Indigenous lore and a decidedly punky sensibility. Narrator Tonantzin Carmelo captures Kari’s blunt, sarcastic tone, while giving her visions a haunting feel that’s totally on-point. White Horse is inspired, brilliant, and unsettling.
