Cherie Dimaline writes Métis speculative fiction, horror and young adult dystopia in which colonial violence and Indigenous survival are often built directly into the speculative premise. The Marrow Thieves imagines a future where most people have lost the ability to dream and Indigenous people are hunted because their bone marrow is believed to hold the cure; Hunting by Stars continues that story through capture, resistance and chosen family. Empire of Wild draws on the Métis story of the rogarou as a woman searches for her missing husband, while VenCo follows a secret network of witches connected by mysterious spoons and threatened by an old enemy. Dimaline's books are plot-driven, dark and rooted in community and oral storytelling. They fit Indigenous speculative fiction, dystopian YA and contemporary folklore-based fantasy, particularly for readers who like supernatural or future settings tied to histories of displacement and resistance.
