Delightfully BRUTAL Psychological Horror.Jumping into this novella, I wasn't sure what to expect. To be honest, I never even read the synopsis. I see the name, Stephen Graham Jones, and immediately pick books up. It's a compulsion.Night of the Mannequins follows Sawyer, and his group of childhood friends, when a prank goes horribly wrong.Disguising a discarded mall mannequin as a patron at the local movie theater seemed like the perfect way to get back at the stuffy assistant manager. The same one who happened to recently punish the friend group for sneaking into a movie unpaid.What starts off as a fairly innocent prank, however, turns more deadly than this group of teens could have ever imagined. Sawyer seems to be the only one with a plan to limit the destruction.First, let me just swoon for a bit over how much I love SGJ's writing. I promise not to rave for too long.The style is edgy AF, yet feels like Classic Horror all the same. I love the humor and witty dialogue that he is able to bring to such dark and haunting tales.Also, his books always go there, all the way to the deepest, darkest crevices of the human mind. It's weird. It's powerful. It's freakingly disturbing.With this being said, I was really into this novella, loving everything about it until about the 70% mark. Then I started feeling lost. While I understand the ending, some of the choices of events leading up to the ending didn't seem to fit. It made the ending seem a little abrupt and disjointed for me.Overall though, this novella is fantastic. You cannot deny the level of creativity it takes to write a story like this.One that leads you in one direction, flips that on its head and then smacks you in the face with a healthy dose of depressing reality.Sawyer is a very special protagonist. He's one of those characters that (view spoiler)[can do horrible, terrible things, but still you feel like you are on their side (hide spoiler)]

Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth."Let me worship you," he said.She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.She answered, "Yes."Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only.

The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however.
