A Twisty Tale of Horror, Delusion, and Madness

Stephen Graham Jones delivers with Night of the Mannequins. The narrator, Sawyer Grimes, weaves a twisty tale of horror, delusion, and madness. While the story is simple in its prose and progression, it gripped me from the opening paragraph. The voice is raw and full of angst. It didn't feel like I was reading a SGJ novel; instead, Sawyer's teenage narrative sucked me into the setting and dragged me along like an inanimate mannequin—no resistance whatsoever.

I recommend this to anyone seeking a quick read that subverts genre tropes and follows an unlikable (and unreliable) protagonist.

Thank you to Tor and NetGalley for the reprint ARC.
