KPL Podcast September 2025 Week 3 with Special Guest Nick Medina

If you love horror, The Whistler is a chilling read that lingers long after the last page. Drawing on the Native superstition that warns against whistling at night for fear of summoning spirits, the novel builds its terror from cultural lore and personal tragedy. Henry Hotard, once a rising star in the world of ghost-hunting videos, sees his future collapse after an accident leaves him a quadriplegic. Returning to the reservation where he grew up, Henry struggles with recovery, dependence, and the unsettling sense that he’s being haunted. His girlfriend, Jade, dismisses the strange occurrences as the byproduct of trauma and adjustment—but Henry isn’t so sure. The book thrives in this space between doubt and belief, grief and dread, leaving readers questioning what’s real and what belongs to the shadows.
