"Stephen Graham Jones is one of our greatest treasures. Victor LaValle, author of The Ballad of Black Tom and The Changeling Now I know the answer: Stephen Graham Jones." I've wondered who would write a worthy heir to Peter Straub's Ghost Story. The Only Good Indians is a triumph somehow it’s a great story and also a meditation on stories. "How long must we pay for our mistakes, for our sins? Does a thoughtless act doom us for eternity? This is a novel of profound insight and horror, rich with humor and intelligence. Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and A House at the Bottom of a Lake. In other words, the book is made up of everything Stephen Graham Jones seemingly explores and, in turn, everything the rest of us want to explore with him." The Only Good Indians has it all: style, elevation, reality, the unreal, revenge, warmth, freezing cold, and even some slashing. An emotional depth that staggers, built on guilt, identity, one's place in the world, what's right and what's wrong. "The best yet from one of the best in the business. “Subtly funny and wry at turns, this novel will give you nightmares. “This novel works both as a terrifying chiller and as biting commentary on the existential crisis of indigenous peoples adapting to a culture that is bent on eradicating theirs.” - Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
“A heartbreakingly beautiful story about hope and survival, grappling with themes of cultural identity, family, and traditions.” - Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW "I like stories where nobody escapes their pasts because it's what I fear most."-Terese Marie Mailhot, New York Times bestselling author of Heart Berries Tommy Orange, Pulitzer Prize finalist of There There I’ll never see an elk or hunting, or what a horror novel can do the same way again.”
Novels can do some much to render actual and possible lives lived. Stephen Graham Jones truly knows how to do this, and how to move us through a story at breakneck (literally) speed. It also both reveals and subverts ideas about contemporary Native life and identity. More than I could have asked for in a novel.
It’s got love and revenge, blood and basketball.
The book is full of humor and bone chilling images. Stephen Graham Jones is one of our most talented and prolific living writers. Makes that kid and the devil fighting for a golden fiddle look tame.” -Stephen King, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Bonus: The most terrifying one-on-one basketball contest ever.
