This is my favorite Stephen Graham Jones novel to date; this writing is the most poetic I’ve ever read in a horror novel. I felt so invested in Good Stab’s journey and experiences, in a way that includes the more “monstrous” feelings he has. Jones perfectly balances the horror of his becoming a vampire and eventually reconciling his life by the end. And his take of a vampire narrative is so unique and new; it will make you think about the effects of colonialism in a new way.
