While striving to entertain readers with his bloodcurdling tales, Alexander imaginatively implements issues that plague the First Nations people including alcohol and drug abuse; systemic racism; missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls; suicide; foster care; residential school aftereffects; and over-incarceration. He also deals with legends of Indigenous folklore, such as Wendigo, ghostly spirits, and the afterlife. Eugene Brave Rock is an actor who grew up on the Kainai Nation in Alberta.

Even the stories that take the wildest flights of the horrifying and supernatural often contain elements of modern Indigenous horrors. --The Calgary Herald
