We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead.
Stephen Graham Jones was raised as pretty much the only Blackfeet in West Texas-except for his dad and grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins. He now lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife, a couple kids, and too many old trucks. Between West Texas and now, he's had seventeen novels and six story collections published. Most recent, from William Morrow, is the werewolf novel Mongrels. Stephen teaches in the MFA programs at CU Boulder and UCR-PD.

"Suffused with questions about the nature of change and friendship,
Night of the Mannequins is a fairy tale of impermanence showcasing
Graham Jones's signature style of smart, irreverent horror."
--The New York Times "A funny and harrowing parable about
adolescent alienation that shows Jones in top form."
--The Toronto Star "Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted,
funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell."
--Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of
Bones "Propulsive and poignant, capturing the mundane terror of
adolescence, and adding that ever-so-essential dab of killer
mannequin."
--Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors "A hotter voice in horror
would be hard to find these days, and Graham Jones does not
disappoint, delivering another masterpiece. Give to fans of slasher
or serial killer tales."
--Library Journal, STARRED review "Wicked and wry, this is a
terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones.
Tip-top with a twist of dread."
--Joe R. Lansdale "Stephen Graham Jones's range ... is staggering.
In this novella he juggles--sometimes in very sly ways--slasher
stories, coming of age horror, traditions of madness and
unreliability, and Kaiju to create an amazingly speedy,
voice-driven read that's tons of fun."
--Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World
"Jones tiptoes the border between supernatural and psychological
horror in this weird and wild novella... Balancing horror and
humor, this novella puts a clever modern twist on a classic monster
story."
--Publishers Weekly "Readers will delight more than once in the
realization that they might be reading a different story from the
one they thought was unfolding... trust Jones and enjoy the
ride."
--Shelf Awareness "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a
tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your
own."
--John Skipp
