Ceremony, the 1977 novel by Laguna Pueblo author Leslie Marmon Silko, is typical of Native fiction written during the 1960s and 1970s. During that period, Silko and her peers wrote realistic and deeply serious portrayals of life in tribal communities. Recently, however, younger Native writers have embraced popular genres known for being entertaining and suspenseful, such as fantasy and horror. Anishinaabe author Nathan Adler is a figure in this movement. Their 2016 novel Wrist is a work of horror fiction.
