Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones

Available now

CW: A horror novel full of inventive and brutal ways to die.

If you haven’t read My Heart is a Chainsaw, go read that first! While you can read this as a stand alone, the first novel is not only fantastic, but it will provide some pretty important back story for Jade and Letha. So I guess…also a spoiler that Jade and Letha survive? Sorry.

Don't Fear the Reaper is the thrilling sequel to My Heart is a Chainsaw. Jade, out of prison and back in Proofrock, finds herself in the middle of a killing spree by the convicted serial killer Dark Mill South. So much of Proofrock has changed, and yet so much has stayed the same. Wary of those around her and wanting to move on with her life, Jade is forced into saving her hometown once again.

Stephen Graham Jones has written a perfect sequel to Jade's story. Jade's transformation from an angsty and horror movie obsessed high schooler to a young woman with an overturned murder conviction was remarkable. This time around, Jade, now Jennifer, wants to use more than her horror movie knowledge to save the town as her friend Letha, having spent the last four years immersing herself in Jade's former obsession, is convinced there is a new final girl that they must help in order to save them all.

Thrilling, fast paced, gory, and brutal, Don't Fear the Reaper is a compelling and terrifying novel of survival, family, friendship.
