“Stephen Graham Jones has a comfortable, intelligent presence that kept the crowd engaged and interested. Horror and speculative fiction readers delighted in hearing Stephen’s stories from his publishing journey. His fans were especially thrilled when Stephen shared an original story, never before read in public. After the talk, Stephen was warm and gracious, eager to speak with each person, sign books and take pictures. It was a memorable way to welcome Spooky Season at the library!” — Columbus Metropolitan Library, 2024

“The event was so great. SGJ was so fun and engaging, and his speaking style has the same undercurrent of humor that makes his writing so unique. Despite being at what feels like a peak of his career, SGJ is super down-to-earth and so easy to talk to. He took everything we threw at him without blinking, and his enthusiasm gave our audience a real show.” — Spartanburg Library, 2022

“We had a sit-down interview for our YouTube series we call “Off Book.” Stephen’s answers were wonderful and we look forward to sharing.” — Richland Library, 2022

“Stephen Graham Jones’s viciously clever, over-the-top, genre-skewing new novel turns a gruesome murderer into ‘your friendly neighborhood slasher’…spectacularly engaging narrative voice, which is imbued with a street-smart lyricism that makes even the loftiest observations glitter like knife blades.” — New York Times Book Review

“A playful, self-aware and remarkably gory horror novel.” — The New York Times

“Readers will watch something original emerge before their eyes, realizing why everyone needs to be as obsessed with the Slasher as Jones is himself. Suggest to every reader who loves a perfectly rendered time and place or just wants a chilling, captivating, and thought provoking story where every detail matters and every page is worth their time.” — Booklist, starred review

“The story has a clear love for the splashy slasher films that inspired it, and Jones does a great job of landing the plot’s gorier excesses as the bodies pile up…{F]ans of meta horror will find a lot to love as Jones remixes well-worn tropes with glee.” — Publishers Weekly

“Thrilling, literate, scary, immersive. Bonus: The most terrifying one-on-one basketball contest ever. Makes that kid and the devil fighting for a golden fiddle look tame.” — Stephen King, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

“The Only Good Indians is scary good. Stephen Graham Jones is one of our most talented and prolific living writers. The book is full of humor and bone chilling images. It’s got love and revenge, blood and basketball. More than I could have asked for in a novel. It also both reveals and subverts ideas about contemporary Native life and identity. 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. I’ll never see an elk or hunting, or what a horror novel can do the same way again.” — Tommy Orange, Pulitzer Prize finalist of There There
