Horror – Earth Reading

The only good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

The only good Indians was written by Stephen Graham Jones in 2020. It follows the story of four young men, all members of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana (USA). After an ill-advised elk hunt, the four men find themselves hunted by something vengeful, terrifying, and seemingly unstoppable. Unstoppable, that is, until it meets a junior high basketball all-star from the reservation. A cross between Deer Woman and Freddy Krueger, The only good Indians firmly plants Native American legends in a modern setting.

Stephen Graham Jones was born in Texas in 1972. He is a member of the Blackfeet Nation. He has published over twenty works of fiction during his career. Much of his work is considered Horror, and he has won several Horror awards during his writing career. He currently lives and teaches in Boulder, Colorado, with his family. The only good Indians is his latest novel, but he has already announced a new novel coming out in summer 2021: My heart is a chainsaw.
