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.

Review of 'Night of the Mannequins' on 'Storygraph'

No rating

haha. This book!! Afterword says he was thinking about Wolf in White Van. And I can see that. Totally. 

This novella reminds me of a fav horror novel by Joey Comeau "The Summer Is Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved". Which I am very sorry I gave away. Another gem.

This book is not for everyone. Or maybe even most. But it aims for something and delivers. Zero complaints.
