“[Jones’s] prose is sleek and image driven; his ludicrous situations are an entry point to social realism, exploring the very real lives of men and women on the margins of society. Most of his characters struggle to locate family and find love while facing violence and confronting personal demons of addiction and anger.”—Pasatiempo
“Stephen Graham Jones does for the literary world what Andy Warhol did for the visual arts: turns the common into the extraordinary, makes the low high, and absolves the sins of our literary pleasures. Like a madman in a factory, Jones produces one terrifying masterpiece after another—he is a superstar, and his brilliance will burn way longer than anyone’s fifteen minutes of fame.”—Ito Romo, author of The Border Is Burning
“Stephen Graham Jones is our contemporary Jorge Luis Borges.”—Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody
“Stephen Jones writes with a whole new aesthetic and moral sense. He doesn’t sound like any of the rest of us, and I love that.”—Sherman Alexie
“Indispensable—there is genius at work here.”—Texas Monthly
“Jones has exploded the conventional rhythms of novelistic narrative.”—Austin Chronicle
“Stephen Graham Jones has emerged as a major Native American writer (though he does not want to be thought of as one). With this anthology, Ted Van Alst gives readers an introduction to this singular-and sometimes singularly infuriating-talent.”—Jace Weaver, author of American Indian Literary Nationalism
