Books like The Night Wanderer by Drew Hayden Taylor
On the quiet Otter Lake reservation, 16‑year‑old Tiffany Hill expects nothing special – until her father rents her bedroom to the enigmatic Pierre L’Errant. While the guest appears polite, something feels off. The truth is Pierre is a vampire, bound to the reservation by centuries of history. As Tiffany navigates a strained relationship with her estranged mother, teenage romance, and a jarring argument with her father, a midnight journey into the surrounding woods brings her face‑to‑face with Pierre. The encounter turns her life—and his—dramatically, forcing both to confront deep personal and cultural truths.
Set in Ontario, the tale blends horror, mystery, and coming‑of‑age themes, exploring the intersections of Indigenous heritage and supernatural lore.
