Eden Robinson is a novelist and a member of the Haisla Nation in western Canada. Critics and fellow writers have praised her work for combining traditional Haisla stories with popular genres of literature, such as fantasy and mystery fiction. But Robinson is not the only Indigenous writer to blend traditional stories with popular literature. In the 2019 novel Empire of wild, Cherie Dimaline successfully blended the oral storytelling tradition of her people, the Metis, with horror fiction.
