About this listen

Wide Reeds, Arizona, is a small town on the Navajo reservation that you won’t find on any tourist map. The people who live there keep their secrets, their dreams, and their fears to themselves. But when a stranger with gold and turquoise eyes hitchhikes into town, the people of Wide Reeds learn that their secrets are no longer safe. Coyote (Ma’ii) - the trickster, thief, warrior, wizard, coward, clown, and savior - has come to call; and over the course of a year, life becomes strangely wonderful and terrifying.

In nine short stories and a novella that have been called part Sherman Alexie and part Stephen King, Coyote Tales leads listeners through the harsh and beautiful world of the modern Navajo Nation. Tracing the traditional yearly cycle of Early Dawn, Blue Daylight, and Evening Twilight, the separate paths of each story lead to the same Folding Darkness. And the only way out of that darkness is to follow the tracks of Coyote.

Critic reviews

“With Coyote Tales, Jim Bihyeh spins a powerful series of tales filled with magic and mystery. Highly recommended!” (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author)
“These stories are incredibly rich in mythic imagery and detail, placing ancient spirit world narratives and magical combat into very contemporary settings.” ( South Dakota Magazine)

This is just a phenomenal collection. Jim Bihyeh's writing is immaculate, with some of the most nuanced and thoughtful character writing I've seen in a collection. Cayenne Chris Conroy's narration is just perfect, playful where it needs to be, eerie where it's called for, devastating in other places. I'm a huge fan of collections or novels that focus on small towns or communities and intertwining stories, and Coyote Tales just nails this approach in the most satisfying ways. By the end of the collection I felt like I'd both been taken on a journey, but also very much come to feel familiar with a place where very little usually changes. There's not a weak story among the bunch, and this is the first time I've finished an audiobook and already planned to listen to it again real soon, as these are tales very much designed to be appreciated in the retelling too, as is tradition. A wonderful collection of fiction, and a wonderful cultural artifact that serves as a wider commentary on the nature and importance of storytelling. A book I'd recommend to absolutely everyone.

One of the best audiobooks I've heard.
