The Only Good Indians is a horror novel from Stephen Graham Jones.
Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians 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 a violent, vengeful way.
I
love how you just don't know what to expect when reading one of Stephen Graham Jones'
books. I'm also going to be posting a review of his The Night of the Mannequins novella soon, and I will be reiterating the same thing. His
writing is unpredictable in the best of ways.
This
may have been the wrong time for me to read The Only Good Indians,
though. It was confusing, and my current attention span may have made it even harder for me to pay attention overall.
I'm
such a fan of Stephen Graham Jones, and I will continue to read whatever he writes. Even
though I'm middle of the road on The Only Good Indians, I still want to
encourage people to pick it up - especially folks who are already fans.
