Synopsis

A Locus Award Finalist
NATIONAL BESTSELLER

December 12th, 2019, Jade returns to the rural lake town of Proofrock the same day as convicted Indigenous serial killer Dark Mill South escapes into town to complete his revenge killings, in this “superb” (Publishers Weekly) sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones.

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.

Goodreads review by Rebecca

This is going to be a strange thing to write about a book that is an homage to slasher movies and at times over the top gory, but this novel is practically overflowing with so much love and delight and an almost childish exuberance for the genre that I couldn't possibly not be caught up in it.

Goodreads review by LIsa Noell "Rocking the Chutzpah!

My thanks to Gallery Books, S.G.J, and Netgalley. I quit this story around 45%. Truth is that I freaking hated it. The story. The too long of everything. I wasn't a fan of the first book. But, I did like the last 30% of it. This? I just can't. Well, I could...but I don't want to. Mr. Jones just isn't......more

Quotes

"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."
