A Locus Award Finalist

NATIONAL BEST SELLER

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.

Story is good, execution not so much.

This is such a departure from the first book. It’s a bit of a mess with so many points of views. It was hard to keep track of what the as going on. Maybe a second listen might make it better. I don’t know.

Expands the story of the first novel

Great second chapter of this trilogy which expands the scope of the first novel, with multiple points of view coming into play this time vs just Jade's POV in the first. The approach allows for a great way to show the communal impact of the events of the first book as well as a broader sense of the community at large and how the often violent and unjust history of the region forms its social foundations. It took a little to get used to the multiple narrators in the audiobook but once it found it's the groove the narrative became quite captivating. I only wish there was more background in Letha and Tompkins' relationship as it feels like their bond isn't fleshed out as much as it needs to be. Otherwise a great read, especially if you liked the first novel.
