Dive into Horror: Stephen Graham Jones Anthology for Halloween

As Halloween approaches, immerse yourself in the chilling narratives of Stephen Graham Jones, a celebrated figure in contemporary horror literature. Known for his distinctive storytelling and recipient of prestigious accolades like the Ray Bradbury Award and the Bram Stoker Award, Jones`s work is a must-read for genre enthusiasts.

A perfect entry point to his acclaimed catalog is the new Saga Doubles compilation, featuring two complete novels: “The Killer on the Road” and “The Babysitter Lives.” This 480-page paperback offers both stories in a single volume, making it an excellent addition to any horror collection.

“The Babysitter Lives” delivers a gripping haunted house tale, while “The Killer on the Road” is a tense thriller following a high school student targeted by a serial killer. This unique Saga Doubles edition boasts dual-sided binding and fresh cover art for each story, adding to its appeal.

For those undecided, a digital preview of the book is often available through various retailers, allowing prospective readers to sample Jones`s captivating prose before committing. His unique narrative voice is widely recognized for its appeal, making a sample read a good way to confirm if his style resonates with you.

This double-novel release is part of a broader initiative by Saga Press to bundle two distinct books into single, convenient packages. The Saga Doubles line is set to expand with further exciting compilations. Upcoming releases include “Saga Doubles: Red Star Hustle + Apprehension,” which will feature crime stories by award-winning authors Sam J. Miller and Mary Robinette Kowal, expected in late October. Another anticipated bundle, “Saga Doubles: Dreadful Dark: Tales of Nighttime Horror/Merciless Sun: Tales of Daylight Horror,” combines two anthologies focusing on horror narratives set during both night and day, arriving earlier in September.
