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
