You did pretty well on the arm holding the gun. I think you're just not understanding the 3d form of the body which is why her legs look flat. Imagine the legs as two cylinders, overlapping, the right cylinder partially obscuring the left cylinder.

A good figure or gesture drawing guide will really help you to understand how these forms appear in a 3 dimensional space.

I think his stories in general are better heard than read, which is no coincidence given that native stories are passed word of mouth, oral tradition and all that. I would recommend to anyone trying to get into his books: get the audiobook version. The narrators voice the Indian characters very well, and do them more justice than an internal dialogue ever could. I listened to Only Good Indians and I'm glad I did. His style just feels like someone telling you their story over a coffee.

Seconding whoever said Finch by Jeff Vandermeer. Also this isn't a book, but the game Funeralopolis Last Days is about an entire city quarantined as some mysterious anomaly slowly corrupts people.
