Stephen Graham Jones on DON'T FEAR THE REAPER

Published: Feb. 7, 2023, 11 a.m.

\u201cFor us, horror stories are a long, dark, scary tunnel. You hear sounds you don't want to hear; you see things that are going to stick in your head. But if you keep putting one foot after the other, that speck of light at the end is going to grow a little bit bigger and a little bit bigger and one day you step out into daylight.\u201d\xa0\xa0

Stephen Graham Jones\u2019 second installment in the Indian Lake Trilogy, Don\u2019t Fear the Reaper, is a big-hearted, blood-soaked romp that rivals the very best slasher films. Jones joins us to talk about creating his fierce and funny characters, the importance of setting, Native American authors in horror, his favorite scary movies and frightening books and more with Poured Over guest host, Jenna Seery.\xa0
