Award-winning author Stephen Graham Jones returns with Night of the Mannequins, a contemporary horror story where a teen prank goes very wrong and all hell breaks loose: is there a supernatural cause, a psychopath on the loose, or both?

We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead.

One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing.

Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He’ll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll do whatever he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes—sometimes you have to become a monster first.

"Suffused with questions about the nature of change and friendship, “Night of the Mannequins” is a fairy tale of impermanence showcasing Graham Jones’s signature style of smart, irreverent horror." —The New York Times

Night of the Mannequins – 1/5
By Stephen Graham Jones

[SPOILER ALERT]

I feel like this book got me expecting great things... just to be let down.

I felt like the title of this story was misleading and the blurb didn't accurately describe the story.

There was literally one mannequin in the whole book and we literally read about it for about four pages and then it was gone. I mean, basically Sawyer didn't take his meds for three days, he hallucinates a bit and then decides the mannequin has come to life – his next bit of logic is then to murder all his friends before the mannequin does.

My biggest annoyance with this book? The first sentence tells you everything that is going to happen in the book. Spoiler alert anyone?

A unique tale from an author who is a master of unique tales told well

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2021

I've enjoyed everything I have read by this author, but he manages to convey something new with each story. If you read the premise of this tale, you may be expecting something very specific. But, in Jones fashion, he manages to give us something even deeper, something greater than our expectations. I felt that this story began in one direction, before quickly shifting into an altogether more disturbing direction. The voice of the main character is expertly realised. I'm not sure he qualifies as "unreliable" as we know, mostly, what he is saying and experiencing isn't the same reality as the other characters. But his thought process is brought to life thanks to Jones's fantastic storytelling ability, and the entire cast of characters are deployed beautifully. A unique tale from an author who is a master of unique tales told well.

Sometimes the hype is the killer

I'd never read anything by Stephen Graham Jones, but Night of the Mannequins kept coming up in recommendations. Maybe it just wasn't for me. That's just how it is with books; sometimes they click and sometimes they don't.
For new, there was nothing to raise this above any other number of stories.
Maybe others will fare better better with this

Great slasher, super writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2021

This is a great piece of writing, always keeping a slight sense of unreality, of uncertainty regarding what’s really going on, all the while giving us an entertaining slasher story that feels fresh. I think it’s main strength is the narrative voice. You always feel like this is a troubled teenager, that he believes it all. Another hearty recommendation.

Fantastic, one of Jones' best

God damn what a fun time. Half Stand By Me / half Scream with a twist. SGJ's voice excels here and probably ranks in my top 3 from him, which says a lot after so many books.

Born and raised in Texas. In Boulder, Colorado now. Forty-nine. Blackfeet. Into werewolves and slashers, zombies and vampires, haunted houses and good stories. Would wear pirate shirts a lot if I could find them. And probably carry some kind of sword. More over at http://demontheory.net or http://twitter.com/@SGJ72
