The electrifying sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw and book two of The Indian Lake trilogy from the master of modern horror Stephen Graham Jones finds Jade Daniels returning to Proofrock, Idaho, on the same day as serial killer Dark Mill South launches his gruesome vendetta.

Four years after her tumultuous senior year, Jade Daniels is released from prison right before Christmas when her conviction is overturned. But life beyond bars takes a dangerous turn as soon as she returns to Proofrock. Convicted Serial Killer, Dark Mill South, seeking revenge for thirty-eight Dakota men hanged in 1862, escapes from his prison transfer due to a blizzard, just outside of Proofrock, Idaho.

Dark Mill South’s Reunion Tour began on December 12th, 2019, a Thursday.

Thirty-six hours and twenty bodies later, on Friday the 13th, it would be over.

Don’t Fear the Reaper is the “adrenaline-filled” (Library Journal, starred review) sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones.

Critic Reviews

"A talented cast of narrators performs a horror story involving the survivor of a small-town massacre. Four years after Proofrock, Idaho, was devastated by the horrific murders, Jade attempts to put her traumatic past behind her. When a serial killer escapes during a prison transfer in a blinding storm, another massacre may be on the horizon — unless Jade and her friends can stop it. Every character is voiced by a distinct and capable performer, and a few stand out. Isabella Star LaBlanc imbues Jade with a haunted but headstrong tone and shoulders the bulk of the story with aplomb. For what is essentially a slasher story about a hook-handed killer, the performances are filled with surprising heart."

This book had everything I wanted in a sequel, keeping to the roots of the original story while adding new concepts to broaden our understanding of Jade's complex character. This had me itching for more and I'm bittersweet knowing the next book to listen to is the finale of the trilogy.

SGJ has created some of the most magnificent work when it comes to writing horror (and creating the ideal slasher sub-genre).

Mr Jones I want to thank you for schooling me as an author, and congratulate the genius and beauty you allowed your spirit to be open to in delivering this story as if I had read it as a Teenager I would have rated it the same, but for different reasons.
What you have done, is outdone Mr Craven in paying homage to the history of slasher pics and the broader genre of horror, through the creation of this "world" and real life nightmares of Indian Lake, into such a rich articulate engaging and exciting narrative, that is brave enough to cleverly use scenes, as metaphors, for the continual fight we make each day living as a member of a systematically oppressed group of people. I am eagerly anticipating reading the third and final book.
I look forward to seeing your name under "screenwriter" when this brilliant contemporary story with a historical education of horror films mixed in, is released as a Summer blockbuster.
