Lansdale"Stephen Graham Jones' has one of the most gripping, stream-of-consciousness voices in horror fiction. The narrator's first person delivery is the most notable aspect of this surprising and creepy tale that nods to popular stalker-killer films of the past, but is so much better than the bulk of those films, and what an ending. Read him.”-Christopher Golden"Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own."-John Skipp"Wicked and wry, this is a terrific story by one of my favorite writers, Stephen Graham Jones. If there’s an heir apparent to the kind of no-rules, wild imagination, down home storytelling perfected by Joe R. The opening setup gets way under your skin, and then Jones takes the story somewhere much darker than you imagined. Night of the Mannequins is dark and twisted, funny, a little crazy, and unsettling as hell.
