While the latter is much shorter than the former, it’s just as creepy and chilling as everything else Jones writes. He has two books out this year, The Only Good Indians (which was so unsettling I had to stop listening to the audiobook at work and wait for my hold to come through at the library for the print copy) and Night of the Mannequins. And on top of that, he’s incredibly prolific. Let it be forever known that I will never look at a mannequin the same ever again.Who doesn’t love Stephen Graham Jones? The man writes horror like no one else. The ending was satisfying and I will definitely recommend this to all my fellow avid readers. The storytelling here is on point as everything from the characters, settings, and situations all led to one of the most unique novellas I’ve ever read. I give “Night of the Mannequins” by Stephen Graham Jones a perfect 5/5 in my book as it checks all the boxes and then some. Needless to say, I will definitely be reading more of his previous and upcoming work as Graham Jones delivered nicely in this one.

It’s an insane and chilling ride through the depths of one hell of an imagination. I genuinely enjoyed reading this and while I won’t spoil anything, this is the perfect nightly read in bed or something to scare you to start a weekend off right. I definitely didn’t see things going down the way that they did as I loved his writing style, pacing, and the sheer horror of this novella as I kept reading. “Night of the Mannequins” by Stephen Graham Jones was the first time I ever read anything by him and wow, this novella didn’t disappoint! At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect but my goodness, once things start to go down, it was a creepy read from beginning to end.
