The story would flip perspective or topic and I didn’t understand what had happened because it wasn’t clear that a shift was occurring. The writing is absolutely captivating, but at times it felt disjointed to me. One of my struggles came through in the writing style of Jones. I loved how Jones kept each of the men as their own unique person when revealing how they learned to cope with these items, as well as the main traumatic event that took place in their youth. You can truly feel the prejudice and the struggle that these main characters felt not only as adults, but throughout their lives. I don’t personally know much about these traditions, but I was easily able to pick up the direction that Jones was pointing the reader.
THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS is steeped in tradition and culture from the American Indian roots of the main characters. I think I was expecting something more straightforward and what I found was much more convoluted and at times above my head. When I started reading I immediately found myself feeling confused about the direction of the story. This book has been one of my most anticipated horror releases for 2020, so when I found out I won a copy I was over the moon. In an effort to fend off this entity the men have shed their traditions and culture, but could this have actually made matters worse? Things will take a violent turn if these men aren’t careful. It seems that they are being tracked by an entity bent on revenge. Each man has found their own way to deal with the feelings associated with this event over the years. THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS | Stephen Graham Jonesįour American Indian men took part in a traumatic and disturbing event during their youth, that to this day seems to linger in their minds.
