What do you do when your dreams come true? When you were twelve, camping out in the back yard, you told your best friend that if he could draw a superhero good enough, you''d give him the perfect words to say. And then it didn''t just happen, there''s even action figures now. Your comic book is on every shelf. And you live beside your best friend again. Your kids even play together, with those action figures. Watch them on the lawn, there. Take a snapshot, and then look over their heads, over the tops of the houses, past the city, past the world itself. Look at all the stars, at all the adventures waiting out there. What do you do when all your dreams come true? You close your eyes, so the dream can last. You close your eyes and you roll your hands into fists, and you try to hold on.

"Brilliant." —The New York Times Mapping the Interior is a horrifying, inward-looking novella from Stephen Graham Jones that Paul Tremblay calls "emotionally raw, disturbing, creepy, and brilliant." Blackfeet author Stephen Graham Jones brings readers a spine-tingling Native American horror novella. Walking through his own house at night, a fifteen-year-old thinks he sees another person stepping through a doorway. Instead of the people who could be there, his mother or his brother, the figure reminds him of his long-gone father, who died mysteriously before his family left the reservation. When he follows it he discovers his house is bigger and deeper than he knew. The house is the kind of wrong place where you can lose yourself and find things you''d rather not have. Over the course of a few nights, the boy tries to map out his house in an effort that puts his little brother in the worst danger, and puts him in the position to save them . . . at terrible cost.

The scene of his mother''s gruesome death greets high school senior Cooper as he arrives home from illegally killing a pregnant doe in the wilds of west Texas. In grief and with a sense of helpless guilt, Cooper begins to uncover the details of his mother''s life. Raped when she was his age, she never knew who had violated her and left her with the son who is now cast adrift. Everyone knows something in Eberhart, Texas, but silence and fistfights are the only answers Cooper gets. As he tries to string together scraps of evidence, he grows increasingly suspicious of seemingly upstanding citizens. With his best friend Denny and Denny''s twin, the ethereal Gina, Cooper spends more and more time hunting, drinking, and holding on to the only people he knows he can trust. Their rural world is tightly circumscribed, yet it contains all of the ugliest and most sublime aspects of the human condition.

The author of Mongrels and the author of The Cabin at the End of the World team up to tell a quirky and uplifting fantasy “that will enthrall young teens” (School Library Journal). Things Mary doesn’t want to fall into: the river, high school, her mother’s life. Things Mary does kind of want to fall into: love, the sky. This is the story of a girl who sees a boy float away one fine day. This is the story of the girl who reaches up for that boy with her hand and with her heart. This is the story of a girl who takes on the army to save a town, who goes toe-to-toe with a mad scientist, who has to fight a plague to save her family. This is the story of a girl who would give anything to get to babysit her baby brother one more time. If she could just find him. It’s all up in the air for now, though, and falling fast . . . Fun, breathlessly exciting, and full of heart, Floating Boy and the Girl Who Couldn’t Fly is an unforgettable ride. “Straddles the border between magic realism and weird science . . . an entertaining, thoughtful piece.” —Publishers Weekly “Absolutely adorable . . . The plot was fast paced and driven and it kept me intrigued until the very end. It was [a] really light, easy read.” —Read Rant Review

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.

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

"What if you weren''t looking for evidence of the supernatural, but found it all the same? A true research scientist can either hide that evidence or tell the world. Either way it''s going to haunt you. Either way your life is never going to be the same." -- Publisher''s website.

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

It was a fire that could be seen for miles, a fire that split the community, a fire that turned families on each other, a fire that it''s still hard to get a straight answer about. A quarter of a century ago, someone held a match to Greenwood, Texas''s cotton. Stephen Graham Jones was twelve that year. What he remembers best, what''s stuck with him all this time, is that nobody ever came forward to claim that destruction. And nobody was ever caught. Greenwood just leaned forward into next year''s work, and the year after that''s, pretending that the fire had never happened. But it had. This fire, it didn''t start twenty-five years ago. It had been smoldering for years by then. And everybody knew it. Getting them to say anything about it''s another thing, though. Now Stephen''s going back. His first time since high school, and maybe his last. For answers, for closure, for the people who can''t go back. The ones who never got to leave. Part mystery, part memoir, Growing Up Dead in Texas is packed with more secrets than your average graveyard. Stephen Graham Jones'' breakout novel is a story about farming. A story about Texas. A story about finally standing up from the dead and walking away.

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy''s summer romance doesn''t end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who''s exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that shouldn''t be possible, but now he can''t stop listening. A woman finds out that the shipwreck wasn''t the disaster, but who she''s shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and won''t, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears and certainties, and there''s no anesthetic. Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more shadows.

"Set on the Blackfeet Reservation, the life of one Indian boy, Doby Saxon, is laid bare through the eyes of those who witness it: his near-death experience, his suicide attempts, his brief glimpse of victory, and the overdose of one of his best friends." "But through Doby there emerges a connection to the past, to an Indian Agent who served the United States Government over a century before. This revelation leads to another and another until it becomes clear that the decisions of this single Indian Agent have impacted the lives of generations of Blackfeet. And the life of Doby Saxon, a boy standing in the middle of the road at night, his hands balled into fists, the reservation wheeling all around him like the whole of Blackfeet history."--BOOK JACKET.

Written as a literary film treatment littered with footnotes like bread crumbs, "Demon Theory" is even parts camp and terror, combining glib dialogue, fascinating pop culture references, and an intricate subtext as it pursues the events of a haunting movie trilogy too real to dismiss.

The author, an Indian himself, profiles the lives of many Native Americans and how people treat them just because of their race. Even in today''s society the uneasy relations between Indians and white''s is still fueled by mistrust, stereo-types and casual violence.

A novel unlike any previous work of Native American fiction.

When a fellow officer is killed while searching the vehicle of a Native American, deputy sheriff Jimmy Doe discovers that the killer is targeting another victim, prompting Doe to launch an investigative road trip across Texas.
