Stephen Graham Jones is largely known as a horror writer\u2014<\/span>the <\/span><\/i>horror writer, one could argue\u2014but one of the greatest pleasures upon reading through his immense backlist is discovering just how widely he\u2019s drawn from other genres. There is always that vein of horror running through his work, but today we will discuss books that could also be categorized as crime, thriller, noir, and the like. All can and often do share a relation to horror, but to just call these books \u201chorror\u201d would be reductive. I\u2019ll speak more on SGJ\u2019s specific style in the final column of this series, but for the purposes of today\u2019s column, the common denominator is one in which he excels quite deviously: the mind of a serial killer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Serial Killers of Stephen Graham Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SINNERS<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nOriginally published 2003 by Rugged Land<\/strong>
\nRevised ebook edition published 2010 by Dzanc Books<\/strong>
\nRe-issued and restored to original text 2025 by Open Road Media\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the oldest book in this series. Maybe the longest, too. And definitely the most underrated. It\u2019s a novel of echoes; of names; of puzzles within puzzles. Stephen King might call it a book of twinners. It\u2019s a novel, much like most of Jones\u2019 work, of Americana.<\/span><\/p>\n

The what: <\/span>All the Beautiful Sinners <\/span><\/i>tells of Deputy Sheriff Jim Doe, chasing after the killer of his sheriff and father figure. But the eerie similarities between hunter and hunted put Doe on the run too, as three FBI profilers take up the chase. What\u2019s unearthed, stripped bare as if by a blood-filled hurricane, is a decades-long trail of abducted orphans, and very little is as it seems.<\/span><\/p>\n

The why: Of all of SGJ\u2019s work, <\/span>Beautiful Sinners <\/span><\/i>demands absolute focus with every sentence. One of my favorite aspects of Jones\u2019 writing is the way he pulls the reader close\u2014in the age of TikTok, it feels refreshingly antithetical to so much of today\u2019s popular fiction. I found that to never be more true than while reading this novel. Every sentence, every line of dialogue, seems to hide multiple layers of meaning, and the reader is rewarded tenfold if you can only slice through the literary fascia. The character work and myth building, toward the very beginning of his career, is truly something special.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why so underrated, then? Besides the decades between its initial publication and re-issue, it also seems to have been the victim of critical misunderstanding. Literary critics, for whatever reason, paired it with the likes of Thomas Pynchon, rather than <\/span>Fight Club <\/span><\/i>or <\/span>Se7en<\/span><\/i>. In this reader\u2019s opinion, <\/span>All the Beautiful Sinners <\/span><\/i>is long overdue a second chance. Go read it, and try not to blink.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IT CAME FROM DEL RIO: A BUNNYHEAD CHRONICLE<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nOriginally published 2010 by Trapdoor Books<\/strong>
\nRe-issued 2024 by Open Road Media \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

And here we have what was, besides maybe <\/span>States of Grace<\/span><\/i>, the most difficult SGJ book to get one\u2019s hands on before the re-issues. (Thank you again, Open Road!) It may have taken 14 years, but believe me when I say that it was well worth the wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

It Came from Del Rio <\/span><\/i>(that title being an homage to the Bradbury-inspired 1953 film <\/span>It Came from Outer Space<\/span><\/i>) is a goddamn delight, not least of which is its noir style of narration. Border smuggler Dodd Raines narrates his big-break-gone-horribly-wrong transporting mysterious, radioactive moon rocks across the border into the U.S. At its heart, this is a tragic story of father and daughter, but I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t say it was a damn good time\u2014especially once the chupacabras start showing up.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, <\/span>It Came from Del Rio <\/span><\/i>is yet another perfect blend of so much of what we love about SGJ. The heart, the humor, the style, the \u201cWhat the f*ck?\u201d All the ingredients of a home run while still being wholly unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THREE MILES PAST: STORIES<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nOriginally published 2013 by Nightscape Press<\/strong>
\nRe-issued 2024 by Open Road Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Three Miles Past <\/span><\/i>is, of all the books in this column series, perhaps my top pick for Halloween reading. Three spooky and\/or f*cked-up tales, around fifty pages each; I won\u2019t give many details of the actual plots here, as they\u2019re so short and a delight to discover for yourself. Suffice to say, this book finds itself in today\u2019s column because two of its three collected novellas star a serial killer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInterstate Love Affair\u201d could be said to pair well with one of the earlier books in this series, <\/span>Killer on the Road<\/span><\/i>, because of their shared settings of the U.S. interstate and the serial killers that stalk said road, but I would actually pair this first <\/span>Three Miles Past <\/span><\/i>story closer with the last book on today\u2019s list, <\/span>The Least of My Scars<\/span><\/i>. It\u2019s with these serial killer tales that SGJ crosses over into the darker terrain of transgressive fiction. These are the splatterpunk of his oeuvre. \u201cInterstate Love Affair\u201d has the added displeasure of taking us through a gauntlet of excruciatingly detailed, roadkill-oriented serial killer modus operandi. Animal lovers: if you haven\u2019t learned this about SGJ books yet\u2026 you\u2019ve been warned.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the middle novella, \u201cNo Takebacks,\u201d is certainly spooky, it pairs better with <\/span>The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti <\/span><\/i>(which we\u2019ll dive into next time!); it does, however, act as a welcome breather before our next delving into the sick mind of a serial killer, in \u201cThe Coming of Night.\u201d This one is written in 2nd person, to put us directly into the POV of this particular killer. This is one of the strangest stories I\u2019ve ever read. You never quite know what is real and what is in this killer\u2019s head.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE LEAST OF MY SCARS<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nOriginally published 2013 by Broken River Books<\/strong>
\nRe-issued 2025 by Open Road Media<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, it would be safe to say that serial killers are somewhat of a specialty of SGJ (complimentary). He has a talent for locating the loose thread in that sick mind, tugging it loose, and showing us how it all unravels. That is especially apparent in The Least of My Scars<\/i>, which seems to hold the dubious honor of (apologies in advance for the pun) scarring the most readers. What, that Jack Ketchum quote on the cover wasn\u2019t enough of a warning?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Least of My Scars <\/span><\/i>tells of the serial killer nobody\u2019s heard of and lived: William Colton Hughes. A fact he\u2019s quite proud of. He takes great pride in his work, which fills his routine. Every few days, the local crime outfit delivers someone to his front door, and he gets to work doing what he does best\u2014after some fun torture, that is. It\u2019s a great setup for him. Air-tight. But then the deliveries stop. His routine stumbles and falls\u2026 and that is when SGJ starts unspooling the loose thread of William\u2019s mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I first became a fan of SGJ and discovered that he had such a fathomless backlist, <\/span>The Least of My Scars <\/span><\/i>was one of the first I read. I still remember the shock I felt wading through these pages. This was the same guy who wrote <\/span>The Only Good Indians<\/span><\/i>? The guy who wrote <\/span>Zombie Bake-Off<\/span><\/i>? (More on both of those in later columns.) It was <\/span>The Least of My Scars<\/span><\/i> that convinced me to start collecting everything I could find. There must have been books in his backlist that went in all sorts of surprising directions, I figured. And boy, did they.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t I proved that to you yet, dear reader? With all the pulpy, horrific fun in the <\/span>SGJ Starter Pack<\/span><\/a>, or his trilogy masterpiece in <\/span>Slasher 101 with Professor Jones<\/span><\/a>, or the sheer ocean to be found in the <\/span>Short Fiction of SGJ<\/span><\/a>. Add to that today\u2019s foray into SGJ\u2019s Serial Killers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for coming this far with me. We have just two more columns before we reach his newest release from Saga Press, <\/span>Off the Reservation<\/span><\/i>, out October 13. Before we reveal the heavy hitters that will conclude this column series, next time around we\u2019ll be talking about something I\u2019m personally very excited about. Something that hits at the heart of why I asked Cemetery Dance if I could do this in the first place: next up, we take a look at what I consider to be the \u201cHidden Gems\u201d of the work of Stephen Graham Jones.<\/span><\/p>\n

See ya then.<\/span><\/p>\n
