Overview

In this latest novel from Stephen Graham Jones comes a "heartbreakingly beautiful story" (Library Journal, starred review) of revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition.

Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians is "a masterpiece. Intimate, devastating, brutal, terrifying, warm, and heartbreaking in the best way" (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts). This novel follows four American Indian men after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for their lives. Tracked by an entity bent on revenge, these childhood friends are helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in violent, vengeful ways. Labeled "one of 2020's buzziest horror novels" (Entertainment Weekly), this is a remarkable horror story "will give you nightmares--the good kind of course" (BuzzFeed).

  • Are we the baddies?

    null null. - 5 months ago

    You think you know the twist.. until you don't. Constantly. An unsettling horror novel depicting revenge and how mistakes can ruin your life. Most characters are morally bad, but rooting for them in their situations is easy. I don't think I'll go hunting ever, probably. Or at least, stay away from herds of animals.

  • How your past can come back to haunt you

    Zo R. - 2 years 8 months ago

    This book follows the story of old friends digging up secrets from their past that may have been better left buried. An ancient evil haunts the friends from an event from their youth, and they must get to the bottom of what's going on and figure out how to stop it. This horror novel bases its lore from Native American folktale and is written by an Own Voices author.

  • Spooky season read

    Ariel L. - 3 years 5 months ago

    This was a great read for October. I don't read a lot of horror but this has me hooked on this author. Very creepy mixed with some folklore with a lot of heart, you really end up caring about the characters. Looking forward to reading more by Stephen Graham jones and other indigenous writers.
