Best Selling Books by Stephen Graham Jones

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice’s epic time-twisting historical slasher reaches its astonishing end! What began with a bloody battle to kill Christopher Columbus in 1492 has led to a war of words in the revolutionary streets of 1776 Philadelphia as Emily’s strange partnership with Benjamin Franklin brings her within striking distance of the Declaration of Independence. A pen’s stroke may be all that separates the world from total ruin—and Emily’s pact with Tad, Sosh, and Yellow Kid to save the future by stopping the creation of America will live or die with her choices in this final chapter of EARTHDIVERS.

When Indigenous survivors Tad, Sosh, Emily, and Yellow Kid plotted to reverse the apocalypse by stopping the creation of America, their wildest dreams couldn’t have prepared them for the consequences of interfering with history. Now the mission to kill Christopher Columbus comes to a close, but whose blood will spill when the Santa Maria finally hits shore? And where—when—will the desperate time travelers go when their efforts in 1492 backfire? Join New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice for the heart-stopping finale of the first arc of Earthdivers, and make your predictions about the next era of carnage to come!

The Indigenous chrononauts’ plot to sabotage the mission to the so-called New World takes a strange turn. Reeling from disaster, the Niña’s crew places Tad under lock and key and Columbus develops a disturbing personal interest in his would-be assassin. As the admiral lets down his guard to decide if this prisoner is a godsend or Satan himself, Tad moves to make the most of the situation. But as his influence on the past intensifies, his wife and friends in 2112 find themselves in the crosshairs of a new history.

After his mesmerizing prediction comes to pass, Tad is embraced as a holy messenger and invited into Christopher Columbus’ inner circle to help guide the expedition to the “New World.” There should be no better time to strike than in such close quarters with the enemy, but Tad struggles to act as he discovers the common ground between them. In 2112, the fate of the future hangs in the balance. Sosh and Yellow Kid’s plan is interrupted by a hauntingly familiar face, and Emily threatens to weaponize the time-travel cave when her post comes under attack by a roving crew out for blood.

In 1776, Emily’s mission starts to take shape as she finds an ally in Benjamin Franklin and the two begin working together to eliminate targets. Emily hopes that will be enough to finally change history once and for all in the way intended. However, there are more enemies in 1776 than there are allies, and Emily is about to be sorely reminded of that fact.

But where violence just failed them, she has a new plan: pass as a man, infiltrate the Founding Fathers, and use only wit and words to carve out a better future in the Declaration of Independence.

DUSK DEFENDS THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK. SOMETIMES… Life is nothing if not constant change. And these changes force us to make terrifying choices that will lead us into either the light or the dark. Dusk is this tipping point, where things go well, or where they go very, very bad. Suspended in Dusk II continues the legacy of editor Simon Dewar''s anthology series. Volume II includes the disturbing work of seventeen extremely diverse voices from the horror and speculative fiction genres. -- Teenage boys navigate the Dark Web where diabolical games of life and death await… -- A woman stalked by shadows gets answers she doesn''t want to hear… -- Ghost hunters commune with malevolent spirits seeking vengeance on the living... -- A family confronts a Maori legend that''s less myth and far more terrifying truth… -- A young man explores a love that continues to gnaw long after it''s gone… -- A group of adults encounter childhood fears that will not die… -- And so much more.

Michael, Letitia Trent, Paul Michael Anderson and Karen Runge. Confront your change. But you must first survive dusk. Praise for Suspended in Dusk II: "Simon Dewar''s second installment of the series really delivers. This collection has thrown together a multitude of quality writing that begs to be read. There is darkness in the margins of each page, smudges of black ink threatening to swallow the reader when they aren''t expecting," – Brian Bogart, Kendall Reviews "Suspended in Dusk II grabs you by the throat from the very first story and does not let go. I honestly can''t overstate how good this anthology was. There are some very heavy topics in the stories but…not a single one is played merely for shock value or cheap emotion." – Gracie Kat, Sci-Fi & Scary "I appreciated the large amount of diversity in this book; from the foreword it became clear that individuals of all shapes of life were given the chance to contribute, and I feel that''s largely absent in anthologies these days." – Red Lace Reviews Proudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the home of multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated volumes of horror. Grey Matter Press: Where Dark Thoughts Thrive

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” Nice sentiment, but change of plans. When a new obstacle threatens to undermine the connection Emily has built with Benjamin Franklin—and all the progress she’s made toward changing the future—she adopts some moves from Tad’s playbook and starts spilling blood in 1776. And speaking of Tad? Back in 2112, Sosh and Yellow Kid discover that it might be more than just his legacy that lives on…

Emily’s plan to infiltrate the Founding Fathers, influence monumental edits to the Declaration of Independence, and reverse the American-bred 21st-century apocalypse is off to a surprisingly smooth start after Benjamin Franklin himself takes her under his wing. But revolution is still brewing in the streets of Philadelphia, and when Emily catches wind of a royalist plot, she’ll need to think on her feet to use it to her advantage before it hijacks her only opportunity to change the course of history and save the world. It’s not too late to join or die! A new arc of New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice’s time-twisting historical slasher continues!

Guest artists Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ), Patricio Delpeche, and Emily Schnall join Stephen Graham Jones—New York Times best-selling author of The Only Good Indians and My Heart Is a Chainsaw—for a mission to the Ice Age exploring America’s pre-Columbian past! When Martin and Tawny’s children disappeared, the couple barreled into the desert to track them down at any cost. Instead, they ran afoul of another group of rovers who claimed to be saving the world by traveling through a cave portal to the year 1492 to prevent the creation of America—an idea that defied belief until the grieving parents were lured into the cave and vanished in time and space. Now alone, Tawny must adapt to the wild marshlands of prehistoric Florida, circa 20,000 BC, and the breathtaking and bloodthirsty megafauna are the least of her problems when she’s caught in a war between a community of native Paleo-Indians and an occupying Solutrean force. Tawny’s odds of survival are in free fall, but she’s a mother on a mission…and she’s holding on to hope that the cave brought her here for a family reunion. In the tradition of Saga, the next chapter of the critically acclaimed sci-fi epic is here in Earthdivers Vol. 2. Collects Earthdivers #7-10.

When a fellow officer is killed while searching the vehicle of a Native American, deputy sheriff Jimmy Doe discovers that the killer is targeting another victim, prompting Doe to launch an investigative road trip across Texas.

Guest artist Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ) joins Earthdivers, for a side mission to the Ice Age in the first of a four-issue mini-arc exploring America’s pre-Columbian past! When Martin and Tawny’s children disappeared, the couple barreled into the desert to track them down at any cost. Instead, they ran afoul of another group of rovers who claimed to be saving the world by traveling through a cave portal to the year 1492 to prevent the creation of America—an idea that defied belief until the grieving parents were lured into the cave and vanished in time and space. Now alone, Tawny must adapt to the wild marshlands of prehistoric Florida, circa 20,000 BC, and the breathtaking and bloodthirsty megafauna are the least of her problems when she’s caught in a war between a community of native Paleo-Indians and an occupying Solutrean force. Tawny’s odds of survival are in free fall, but she’s a mother on a mission…and she’s holding on to hope that the cave brought her here for a family reunion.

It’s time to stop thinking and start cutting throats. Christopher Columbus’ ships are weeks closer to landfall, and Tad has nothing to show for it. Battered and bruised after a string of slick but failed attempts to stop the mission’s progress, Tad is ready to admit that history will never change if he doesn’t spill blood—and he’s too pissed off to care about collateral damage anymore. But even if he succeeds, his friends in 2112 look doomed as Emily fights for her life at the cave and Sosh confronts Yellow Kid about the unforgivable origins of their plan to save the world.

This is where our story really begins. Before the mission to kill Christopher Columbus, soon-to-be time travelers Emily, Tad, Sosh, Tawny, and Martin were enduring the end of the world…and ringleader Yellow Kid was taking his first unscrupulous steps to bring them all together to save it. This tragic hidden chapter reveals how the Blackfeet computer genius discovered the cave that changed history and destroyed lives—an essential tale from guest artist Riccardo Burchielli, shedding light on Earthdivers secrets before Davide Gianfelice returns for a new arc in a new era next month!

Fiction. Native American Studies. Stephen Graham Jones'' first collection of flash fiction, STATES OF GRACE, is aptly named: these stories balance drama, play, and puissance, like forty-nine high-wire feats. While some stories arc through the briefest moments and interstices, others seem to examine an entire lifetime in a page. There are alcoholic fathers, definitions of infidelity, conversations in the middle of the ocean, murder, plotting murder, polite murder, shooting fish in a barrel, sons, and daughters. Never predictable, from the real to the surreal; there''s no knowing what to expect from an attempt at a state of grace.
