Best Selling Books by Stephen Graham Jones

Guest artist Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ) joins Earthdivers, for a side mission to the Ice Age in the first of a four-issue mini-arc exploring America’s pre-Columbian past! When Martin and Tawny’s children disappeared, the couple barreled into the desert to track them down at any cost. Instead, they ran afoul of another group of rovers who claimed to be saving the world by traveling through a cave portal to the year 1492 to prevent the creation of America—an idea that defied belief until the grieving parents were lured into the cave and vanished in time and space. Now alone, Tawny must adapt to the wild marshlands of prehistoric Florida, circa 20,000 BC, and the breathtaking and bloodthirsty megafauna are the least of her problems when she’s caught in a war between a community of native Paleo-Indians and an occupying Solutrean force. Tawny’s odds of survival are in free fall, but she’s a mother on a mission…and she’s holding on to hope that the cave brought her here for a family reunion.

Fiction. Native American Studies. Stephen Graham Jones'' first collection of flash fiction, STATES OF GRACE, is aptly named: these stories balance drama, play, and puissance, like forty-nine high-wire feats. While some stories arc through the briefest moments and interstices, others seem to examine an entire lifetime in a page. There are alcoholic fathers, definitions of infidelity, conversations in the middle of the ocean, murder, plotting murder, polite murder, shooting fish in a barrel, sons, and daughters. Never predictable, from the real to the surreal; there''s no knowing what to expect from an attempt at a state of grace.

Flushboy is every job you ever had in high school, times ten: working the window of your father''s drive-through urinal.

A woefully overmatched PI must confront his past and solve a murder in rural Texas.

Kartographie des Inneren ist eine schreckenerregende, nach innen gewandte Geschichte von Stephen Graham Jones, die Paul Tremblay als »emotional roh, verstörend, gruselig und brillant« bezeichnet. Blackfeet-Autor Stephen Graham Jones bietet seinen Lesern eine packende Horror-Geschichte über Amerikanische Ureinwohner. Eines Nachts sieht ein Fünfzehnjähriger eine Gestalt. Sie erinnert ihn an seinen längst verstorbenen Vater, der auf mysteriöse Weise ums Leben kam, bevor seine Familie das Reservat verließ. Als er der Gestalt durch das Haus folgt, entdeckt er, dass dieses größer ist, als ihm bewusst war. Es ist einer dieser Orte, in dem man sich verlieren kann und gleichzeitig Dinge findet, die man lieber nicht hätte finden sollen. Im Laufe einiger Nächte versucht der Junge, sein Haus zu kartographieren, was seinen kleinen Bruder in Lebensgefahr bringt und ihn selbst gleichzeitig in die Lage, sie beide zu retten ... zu einem schrecklichen Preis. The New York Times: »Brillant.« Richard Kadrey: »Stephen Graham Jones'' schauriges Kartographie des Inneren ist wie eine verdrehte YA-Geschichte für Erwachsene, teils von S.E. Hinton, teils von Shirley Jackson. Es geht darum, jung und pleite zu sein, und um den Moment, in dem man sich zum ersten Mal fragt, wer seine Eltern wirklich sind. Die Antworten sind da draußen, aber sie werden dich für immer verfolgen.« Paul Tremblay: »Stephen Graham Jones'' Kartographie des Inneren ist ein Triumph. Emotional so roh, verstörend, gruselig und brillant. Sie werden nicht ungerührt sein. Sie werden nicht unberührt bleiben. Es ist eine Geistergeschichte im wahrsten, dunkelsten und melancholischsten Sinne. Stephen weiß, dass wir von unseren Eltern, unseren Familien und unserer gemeinsamen Vergangenheit ebenso heimgesucht werden wie von uns selbst; heimgesucht von dem, was wir waren, wer wir werden und wer wir hätten sein können.«

Bestsellerautor Stephen Graham Jones erzählt mit Night of the Mannequins eine zeitgenössische Horrorgeschichte, in der ein Teenager-Streich gründlich schief geht und die Hölle losbricht: Gibt es eine übernatürliche Ursache, einen Psychopathen, der frei herumläuft, oder beides? Ausgezeichnet mit dem Bram Stoker Award 2021. Wir dachten, wir spielen ihr einen lustigen Streich, und jetzt sind die meisten von uns tot. Das Ende der Sommerferien. Ein letzter Prank, um eine Freundin zu erschrecken. Eine Schaufensterpuppe in einen Kinosaal zu setzen ist doch nur ein harmloser Spaß, oder? Bis sie zum Leben erwacht. Bis sie anfängt zu töten. Zum Glück hat Sawyer einen Plan. Er wird der Held sein. Er wird tun, was auch immer getan werden muß. Er wird alle retten ... so gut er es halt kann. Das ist eben so eine Sache mit Helden – manchmal muss er erst zum Monster werden. The New York Times: »Durchdrungen von Fragen über die Natur von Veränderung und Freundschaft, ist Die Nacht der Schaufensterpuppen ein Märchen über die Vergänglichkeit, das Graham Jones'' unverwechselbaren Stil des intelligenten, respektlosen Horrors unterstreicht.« The Toronto Star: »Eine witzige und erschütternde Parabel über jugendliche Entfremdung, die Jones in Hochform zeigt.« Christopher Golden: »Die Nacht der Schaufensterpuppen ist düster und verdreht, lustig, ein bisschen verrückt und verdammt beunruhigend.« John Skipp: »Schlitzohrige, überraschende psychische Taschenspielertricks in einer Geschichte über Teenager-Wahnsinn, in der das nächste Plastikgesicht dein eigenes sein könnte.« Joe R. Lansdale: »Böse und ironisch, eine großartige Geschichte von einem meiner Lieblingsautoren, Stephen Graham Jones. Spitzenmäßig mit einem Hauch von Grauen.« Sarah Langan: »Spannend und ergreifend fängt es den alltäglichen Schrecken des Heranwachsens ein, und fügt noch den unverzichtbaren Hauch einer Killerpuppe hinzu.« Brian Evenson, Autor von Song for the Unraveling of the World: »Stephen Graham Jones'' Bandbreite und sein Verständnis von Horror in Fiktion und Film sind atemberaubend. In dieser Novelle jongliert er - manchmal auf sehr schlaue Art und Weise - mit Slasher-Geschichten, Coming-of-Age-Horror, Traditionen des Wahnsinns und der Unzuverlässigkeit und Kaiju, um eine erstaunlich rasante, sprachgetriebene Lektüre zu schaffen, die jede Menge Spaß macht. Jedes neue Buch von ihm zeigt eine andere Facette des Horrors, und alle zusammen ergeben etwas wirklich Weitreichendes und Originelles.« Library Journal: »Eine schärfere Stimme im Horrorbereich ist heutzutage schwer zu finden, und Graham Jones enttäuscht nicht und liefert ein weiteres Meisterwerk ab. Ein Muss für Fans von Slasher- oder Serienmördergeschichten.« Publishers Weekly: »Jones bewegt sich in dieser seltsamen und wilden Novelle auf der Grenze zwischen übernatürlichem und psychologischem Horror... Diese Novelle, in der sich Horror und Humor die Waage halten, gibt einer klassischen Monstergeschichte eine clevere, moderne Wendung.«

From the New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw and The Only Good Indians come all three volumes of the time-hopping horror thriller about far-future Indigenous outcasts collected into one value-priced omnibus. The year is 2112, and it''s the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a time-travel portal and figured out where everything took a turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own--a reluctant linguist named Tad--on a bloody one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But there are steep costs to disrupting the timeline, and his actions could trigger a devastating new fate for his friends and the future. Then, travel to the Ice Age on a mission exploring America''s pre-Columbian past! It''s circa 20,000 BC and the breathtaking and bloodthirsty megafauna are the least of the problems when our protagonists are caught in a war between a community of native Paleo-Indians and an occupying Solutrean force. In the final volume, faced with the consequences of their actions--and their own slippery moral rationalizations--620 years in the future, the path is clear. There''s no better time and place to take another stab at America than Philadelphia, 1776. Join writer Stephen Graham Jones and artists Davide Gianfelice, Riccardo Burchielli, Patricio Delpeche, and Emily Schnall in this epic that collects all three volumes of Earthdivers (Vol. 1: Kill Columbus, Vol. 2: Ice Age, and Vol. 3: 1776) into one omnibus.

No último dia da tradicional temporada de caça, quatro homens indígenas do território sagrado da nação Blackfeet, no estado de Montana, tomaram uma decisão que custaria muito caro. Lewis, Ricky, Gabe e Cass sabiam que caçar na reserva era proibido e um desrespeito, mas, movidos pela adrenalina, fizeram mesmo assim. Agora, dez anos depois do evento conhecido como Clássica Ação de Graças, Lewis começa a ser assombrado por um espírito vingativo — uma criatura com cabeça de cervo. Em Temporada de Caça, Stephen Graham Jones apresenta um romance brutal sobre vingança e pertencimento que sem dúvida já se tornou um clássico do gênero. Graham Jones cutuca feridas sem medo de machucar. Escritor de mão cheia capaz de embrulhar o estômago do leitor ao mesmo tempo em que provoca reflexões profundas, ele desfia, a partir da premissa de vingança, temas como racismo, trauma entre gerações e a vivência indígena nos Estados Unidos. Um terror moderno que nunca perde o ritmo, uma prosa capaz de deixar escapar um sorriso tenso no canto da boca. Um livro que arrepia pela originalidade e choca pela veracidade dos fatos. Graham Jones, uma verdadeira semente da nação Blackfeet, explica que quis questionar o que significa ser um bom indígena a partir do momento em que o sucesso em um círculo significa traição em outro. O objetivo foi contestar principalmente ideias vindas dentro da própria comunidade indígena que afirmam que, para ser verdadeiramente aceito, é necessário seguir certos padrões ou estereótipos. “Acho que a maneira que vai lhe deixar feliz ou satisfeito é o que significa ser um bom indígena. Você não precisa seguir os meios tradicionais. Não precisa adotar novos modos de viver. Você não tem que seguir este ou aquele caminho. Apenas precisa ser feliz, e é assim que você é um bom indígena, na minha opinião”, diz o autor ao Columbia Journal. Romance premiadíssimo — ganhou o Bram Stoker Award, o Shirley Jackson Award e o Ray Bradbury Prize, além de ter sido indicado ao Goodreads Choice na categoria horror — Temporada de Caça é o livro que faltava na coleção dos fãs do gênero. Uma narrativa sobre vingança, certamente. Mas também sobre identidade, vínculos entre comunidades e a resiliência de laços fraternos. Para celebrar os 10 anos da DarkSide® Books, a Caveira orgulhosamente apresenta esta obra crua e inovadora, que atravessa o território sagrado do horror para mais uma temporada literária de caça.
