About this listen
A New York Times Best Seller
From USA Today best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a “masterpiece” (Locus Magazine) of a novel about revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition. Labeled “one of 2020’s buzziest horror novels” (Entertainment Weekly), this is a remarkable horror story that “will give you nightmares - the good kind of course” (BuzzFeed).
From New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American-Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American-Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a violent, vengeful way.

Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Story4 out of 5 stars 200
Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home. These shiver-inducing tales introduce listeners to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Her Métis family has lived in their tightly knit rural community for generations, but no one keeps the old ways...until they have to. That moment has arrived for Joan.

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Sprout Bradford has a secret. It's not what you think he'll tell you he's gay. He'll tell you about his dads drinking and his mother's death. The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

In 1995 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean.

Nainoa’s family, struggling amidst the collapse of the sugarcane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favor from ancient Hawaiian gods - a belief that appears validated after he exhibits puzzling new abilities.

The town of Northfall, Minnesota, will never be the same. Meteors cratered hardwood forests and annihilated homes, and among the wreckage a new metal was discovered. This “omnimetal” has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source…and a weapon. John Frontier returns for his sister’s wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government.

Sprout Bradford has a secret. It's not what you think he'll tell you he's gay. He'll tell you about his dads drinking and his mother's death. The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 162
A propulsive and ambitious novel as electrifying as The Wire, from a writer hailed as the West Coast's Richard Price—a mesmerizing epic of crime and opportunity, race, revenge, and loyalty, set in the chaotic streets of South Central LA in the wake of one of the most notorious and incendiary trials of the 1990s. At 3:15 p.m. on April 29, 1992, a jury acquitted three white Los Angeles Police Department officers charged with using excessive force to subdue a black man named Rodney King and failed to reach a verdict on the same charges involving a fourth officer. Less than two hours later, the city exploded in violence that lasted six days. In nearly 121 hours, fifty-three lives were lost. But there were even more deaths unaccounted for: violence that occurred outside of active rioting sites by those who used the chaos to viciously settle old scores.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Starts off good and then loses it.
Really liked how it started off but towards the middle it just loses it and doesn't really make much sense. Felt like it went on too long.

A Masterpiece
This story spans ten years but also all of the history of our characters and their families, it's horrific, poetic, wrenching, shocking and beautiful. The narrator is sheer perfection and the tale is mesmerizing. I'm disappointed that this is the first I've heard of the author and am excited to read more of his work. This isn't a helpful review but I think you'll appreciate knowing less of the story going in so that you can experience the surprises. Give yourself a present and get this book.

Extraordinary
It is going to take me a while to navigate my feelings in the wake of such a superb story read by the absolute perfect reader. It moved the boundaries of horror while embracing beloved tropes (final girls, avenging spirit, etc...) I cried and hugged my child, but I am not broken. But I am changed by it. This was new, and it will stay with me, always.

What The Hell
I finished it, strictly because I was holding out hope for the ending, but a pick-up game of basketball s between a teenaged girl and and the Elk Head Woman was not what I was expecting. I feel like this novel could’ve been so much mor. The good parts were great, but the bad parts were horrible.

A decent story haunted by jarring starts and stops.
The Only Good Indians is a story of a group of friends haunted by their past. The premise is strong and most of the protagonists like-able, but the narrative flow took me out of story for long stretches of time. One scene in particular revolving around a basketball game came dangerously close to young adult fiction and was really cringey. I don’t want to give the impression I didn’t like the book but at times it was just kinda hard to get into. Also, if you’re adverse to scenes of graphic violence, this one isn’t for you. I mainly read in the horror genre but found myself wincing away from some of the more gruesome descriptions.

Best novel this year and longer...
The Only Good Indians is so many important things...truly scary, perfect tight pacing, sharp and fine observations and a strong current of wry humor illuminating human foibles as well as the everyday violence of ongoing colonization ...also a powerful ethical compass, richly developed complex characters who pulse with life (natural and supernatural!), concern with human and more than human relations. Recommending it to everyone!

Worth every moment ...
This is by far one of the best reads I've enjoyed in a long while. Fresh concept executed with literate, clean writing. Perfect narration of a deeply meaningingful and spiritually layered tale. I'd never read any of SGJ's work before, but I intend to read everything he has previously written and all that he writes in the future. A truly unique gem.

Unsettling, moving allegory
I think this was a great book to read via audiobook, the performer does a great job of capturing the cadence and accents of the characters. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for a straight horror novel, but if you like to be unsettled and are interested in native culture, stick this one out. It conveys the idea of eternal recurrence in such an oblique, incisive way.
