I found this one to be an interesting take on the vampire trope mixed with indigenous revenge. It was really deep, gross, and enthralling, bringing the anticipation of Three-Person's sins, but then it just petered out... I dunno. There was a point where everything felt like the climax and things were happening only for... it to not actually be the climax and then everything afterwards felt pointless and underwhelming.

Also ending thoughts:

Why did she even bother doing all that to the giant prairie dog, Arthur? Why was it her responsibility to torture him; because we know he's not dead, considering Good Stab and Cat Man lived through worse? I know it was symbolic, but also it was nonsensible. The amount of time I spent hoping Etsy would die because she had Arthur's blood... UGH. Not a great subversion, I'll admit.
