Resumen del Editor

The final installment in the most lauded trilogy in the history of horror novels picks up four years after Don’t Fear the Reaper as Jade returns to Proofrock, Idaho, to build a life after the years of sacrifice—only to find the Lake Witch is waiting for her in New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones’s finale.

It’s been four years in prison since Jade Daniels last saw her hometown of Proofrock, Idaho, the day she took the fall, protecting her friend Letha and her family from incrimination. Since then, her reputation, and the town, have changed dramatically. There’s a lot of unfinished business in Proofrock, from serial killer cultists to the rich trying to buy Western authenticity. But there’s one aspect of Proofrock no one wants to confront…until Jade comes back to town. The curse of the Lake Witch is waiting, and now is the time for the final stand.

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones has crafted an epic horror trilogy of generational trauma from the Indigenous to the townies rooted in the mountains of Idaho. It is a story of the American west written in blood.

Incredible ending to this brilliant trilogy

The title of the review says it all, really. What a bitter, intense, triumphant ending to the story that began in “My Heart is a Chainsaw.” I raised a fist and enjoyed the ending of this so much. It was everything I could have hoped for.

If you’ve read “My Heart is a Chainsaw” and “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” you need to read “The Angel of Indian Lake.” If you haven’t, go read them now, and then come back here.

I could write an essay - Jade Daniels’ style - about the whole trilogy. About how I see “Growing Up Dead in Texas” as a sort of well that the author returns to over and again throughout Jade’s story. About how it’s a love letter to Native American women and girls, their victimization, and their survival. About how horror movies create a whole world with its own rules, and how he mines that world without ever reducing its impact by making it a farce.

I appreciate Stephen King’s cameo in this audiobook. He must have wanted to be a part of Jade’s world as much as the rest of us readers. It’s high praise, and much deserved.

SGJ has said he’s done writing Jade’s story. I’ll believe it when I see it. I think her voice will continue to be part of his future work. I’ll just have to go on reading everything he publishes to find out.

Just go ahead and get it

Almost lost me in the middle but it's really good. A nearly perfect finish to a great trilogy. I'll miss you Jade!

This trilogy slays me

The voice, of course, like the first book but even more layers—reminds me why I read, reminds me why I write, reminds me to live, to fight to really live.

worth the wait!!

Both the story and the narrators went all out!! catches you from the first few seconds and doesn't let you go

I hate it when the trilogy ends

Not many horror stories will introduce you to a final girl that has such beautiful depth but that’s not something Stephen Graham Jones. It’s final bow you want to tied properly, and it does.

perfect end to the trolgy

loved it! perfect ending to to Jades story. beautiful book that brings horror and the hope of overcoming trauma

best of the 3

and i didnt think that was possible. "shrieker" and "gorier," as Jones puts it in the afterword, but also more touching, more hunan, more heart.

LOTR of horror

I've loved SGJ since I stumbled across Only Good Indian. Since then, I've devoured his work. But this trilogy puts him into a completely different stratosphere. While OGI made me verbally swear, the book, even for all of the violent deaths, made me cry again and again and again.

Chainsawed into my heart

What a way to end the last book in this trilogy! It was great to have Isabella Star LaBlanc back as the narrator as she brings Jade to life so well. No spoilers but so many things that happened in the previous two books are addressed and it gives a great conclusion. Surprise guest voice of Stephen King as a certain history teacher was a fun extra to have in this book.

I’m definitely going to miss this crew and all the fun slasher mentions and throwbacks. These final girls are forever more with me.

Just Perfect

Just a perfect ending to this trilogy. I keep getting surprised by this author, and that is something extraordinary. Thank you, S. G. Jones!
