This adult horror story is based on northeastern Native American beliefs about such magical creatures as skin-walkers and shape-shifters.
""Yah-ko"" is Algonquian for ""evil little men,"" goblin-like creatures that can shape-shift into animals. A Mohawk shaman describes them as the spawn of Gan-Nos-Guah, the human flesh eater. The Yah-ko are at war with the Nen-Us-Yoks, or ""spirit dwarf people,"" the spawn of Oh-ke, the Earth Mother. Accurate research and a compelling story line make this book an entertaining, scary read.
