Story
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Story
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Story
When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more - Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants...until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.

It all happened so quickly. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. Then, governments initiated the Transition. Now, 'special meat' - human meat - is legal. Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans, only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he's given a gift to seal a deal: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later. But the specimen haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her eyes that watch him, that seem to understand.

Whoever is born here is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay never leaves. Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a 17th-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she's there. Or what a threat she poses.

Story
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbours are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined.

Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.

Mallory is delighted to have a new job looking after gorgeous four-year-old Teddy. She's been sober for a year and a half, and she's sure her new nannying role in the affluent suburbs will help keep her on the straight and narrow. That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style, that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead.
Publisher's Summary
Adam Nevill's The Ritual meets Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies in this atmospheric Gothic literary horror.
Ten years ago, four young men shot some elk and then went on with their lives. It happens every year; it's been happening forever; it's the way it's always been. But this time it's different.
Ten years after that fateful hunt, these men are being stalked themselves. Soaked with a powerful Gothic atmosphere, the endless expanses of the landscape press down on these men - and their children - as the ferocious spirit comes for them one at a time.
The Only Good Indians charts nature's revenge on a lost generation that maybe never had a chance. Cleaved to their heritage, these parents, husbands, sons and Indians, men live on the fringes of a society that has rejected them, refusing to challenge their exile to limbo.
Critic Reviews
"The Only Good Indians has it all: style, elevation, reality, the unreal, revenge, warmth, freezing cold, and even some slashing. In other words, the book is made up of everything Stephen Graham Jones seemingly explores and, in turn, everything the rest of us want to explore with him." (Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box)

Concept good. Story and Delivery Fail
I like the idea of this but it was written badly . To me it was like 4 short stories attempted to be linked together. this alowed for plot holes so large I couldn't forgive. also the basketball story line took way too much time. I think its important to get a new perspective. This had a message to get across but due to the writing it was lost.

even for the non reader
I've read a few of his short stories and have been waiting for this book for a while. I have it on both kindle and audio. I loved it. but what's impressive to me is that my partner, who has no interest in fiction at all, has only read three fiction books in his life, was hooked on this book.
great read and a great listen. I also love the author's note at the end, actually read by the author. it was nice to hear the voice behind then writing.

Not as anticipated
The premise and plot summary of this book had me hooked and for the first half kept me engaged.
While the book is well written with fleshed out characters and a unique, cultural twist on your classic ghost story, I found myself frequently lost or confused by both the slang the author uses and the constant references to basketball. Whether being used as a metaphor or as the primary setting of a scene, basketball was so consistently and vividly being described in explicit detail that I had to question what genre of book I was reading.
The story told is weird and unique, and I like that aspect of it. The frequent shifts in perspective along with the at times confusing jargon has left me unsure what score to leave this book with.

a different type of horror
Mixing in the real world horrors of the treatment of natives in America with a more traditional ghost story gives credence to a much smaller tale than most out there nowadays.
For those jaded by the same old stories, give this a go.
The narration reflects the stoicism of native people in America and delivers a fantastic performance.

Meandering and meaningless
A solid reading does not a good book make. The main spine of the story just didn’t work for me. Its peculiar tale of revenge was a non-starter, as it seemed rather meaningless, all told. And the individuals being hunted down were all too of a kind, so they blended together. Which ultimately means, I never cared who lived or died.

Scary and very haunting
I really enjoyed this book on two levels. First, it's novel about contemporary Native Americans figuratively and literally grappling with legacy and religion in a modern context, which is pretty rare. Second, because it's genuinely scary and quite gory. Overall this is a beautiful piece of work, daring, sorrowful. Last but definitely not least, the audio performance of it was really spot on, and may have helped me to connect even more with the content.

At first I thought the voice was good - appropriate for the story, but after a while I realised I hadn’t listened as his voice is sooo monotonous. Quite dramatic twists happened in the storyline but there was absolutely no change. Afraid I had to give up, but will read it instead. Disappointing.

This had me hooked!
I had no expectations going into this one. I'd previously read Jones' collected short stories but tried "Mongrels" and it didn't gel with me.
This one, however. Whoa boy. Not only is the story by turns heartbreaking, terrifying and very current - it also takes many turns I didn't see coming. The performance was top notch, too - especially with giving life to the indigenous American language. Couldn't recommend this enough.
