Jones manages to take what is a worn-out old formula and imbues it with dark twists and an original take. A group of young men trespass and commit a terrible, moral crime and are chased due by a supernatural force intent of murdering them all for their sins.
It’s strange to say, but I didn’t even realize this was a slasher novel until I really thought about the story. But how it all gets resolved, that’s the real kicker. Each of these men sees and hears things that aren’t there, haunted by a Thanksgiving hunt that shouldn’t have been, and it leads to their deaths. The other two friends, Gabe and Cass, end up facing their fates after a sweat to honor Lewis. Soon after, a postal worker named Lewis starts to see strange visions and gets twisted ideas in his head. It starts with the death of Ricky, a member of the Blackfeet, who is beaten to death by white men outside of a bar. The Only Good Indians is the latest novel by horror great Stephen Graham Jones. When four friends living on the reservation go hunting where they shouldn’t and end up killing a female deer and her unborn baby, they start a chain of events that will lead to their deaths and the deaths of their loved ones. No matter how big or small, everything we do has the ability to help and hurt in turn.
