Reviews" Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted, funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell." --Christopher Golden "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "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 "Propulsive and poignant, capturing the mundane terror of adolescence, and adding that ever-so-essential dab of killer mannequin." --Sarah Langan, " Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted, funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell." --Christopher Golden "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones.

Lansdale "Propulsive and poignant, capturing the mundane terror of adolescence, and adding that ever-so-essential dab of killer mannequin." --Sarah Langan "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, " Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted, funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell." --Christopher Golden "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones.

Lansdale "Propulsive and poignant, capturing the mundane terror of adolescence, and adding that ever-so-essential dab of killer mannequin." --Sarah Langan "Stephen Graham Jones's range and his understanding of horror in fiction and film 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. Each new book of his gives his own take on a different facet of horror, and together they all add up to something really expansive and original." --Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World "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 "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, "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 "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones.

Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted, funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell. The opening setup gets way under your skin, and then Jones takes the story somewhere much darker than you imagined. If there's an heir apparent to the kind of no-rules, wild imagination, down home storytelling perfected by Joe R. Lansdale, it's this guy right here. Read him." --Christopher Golden "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones. Tip-top with a twist of dread. The narrator's first person delivery is the most notable aspect of this surprising and creepy tale that nods to popular stalker-killer films of the past, but is so much better than the bulk of those films, and what an ending. You definitely need this." --Joe R. Lansdale "Stephen Graham Jones' has one of the most gripping, stream-of-consciousness voices in horror fiction. Night of the Mannequins is propulsive and poignant, capturing the mundane terror of adolescence, and adding that ever-so-essential dab of killer mannequin. You won't put it down." --Sarah Langan, "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 "Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own." --John Skipp "Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones.

He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll do whatever he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes--sometimes you have to become a monster first.
