Thirteen stories of monsters, murder, and mayhem from a master of horror, the New York Times-bestselling author of I Was a Teenage Slasher. Stephen Graham Jones takes familiar horror tropes--zombies, camping mishaps, damaged children--and intertwines them with the dark forces of human nature to create unique and unforgettable short fiction. These thirteen tales run the gamut, immersing you in worlds you think you've seen before, but with outcomes you'll never see coming. In Father, Son, Holy Rabbit, a dad and his child are lost in a snowstorm and learn what the true cost of survival is. A snake-oil salesman makes his way across Arizona territory, peddling his wares to unsuspecting customers--and leaving ghost towns in his wake--in Lonegan's Luck. While in Raphael, four twelve-year-old outcasts, seemingly invisible to everyone around them, make up a scare club, pushing themselves further and further into the unthinkable. As Laird Barron says in his introduction, The Ones Who Got Away is a slippery collection; it resists and gnaws at the bonds of genre, yet may be the most pure horror book I've come across. Jump in and hold on for your life . . . The twisty endings, villainous characters, and truly shocking scenarios make several of these disturbing stories truly unforgettable. --Publishers Weekly Readers looking for horror can't go wrong with Stephen Graham Jones and diving into these thirteen collected short stories is the perfect way to countdown to Halloween night. --Bookish The Ones Who Got Away is the perfect showcase for [Jones's] wide-array of literary acrobatics. --Dark Scribe Magazine
