Synopsis "The Least of my Scars"

The New York Times-bestselling author "shows how a serial killer's paradise and a serial killer's hell are really the same place" (Brian Evenson, O. Henry Award-winning author). When a serial killer hits the top of his game, where does he go from there? William Colton Hughes finds out. Not interested in notoriety, Hughes just wants to do what he's good at: torture and murder. It never occurs to him that he could make a living at it . . . until the yoga instructor. She happens to be the girlfriend of a powerful and cunning crime boss who catches Hughes literally red-handed. In a twist even Hughes never sees coming, he's not immediately put down. Instead, he's set up in a warren of apartments. Hughes's own private high-rise sanctuary, where his new benefactor feeds victims to him. He couldn't ask for more. But when his supplies stop coming, Hughes begins to lose his already tenuous grip on reality--and learns that even monsters have their own boogeymen to deal with . . . "A grim, funny, stylish hallucination of a book--murderous insanity seen from the inside out. You'll be revolted by this guy, but he'll fascinate you too." --Jack Ketchum, Bram Stoker Award-winning author "[Jones's] writing is hallucinogenic, varied, fascinating. . . . Big names in writing [come] to mind: Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, even Faulkner." --New Pages

Stephen Graham Jones, nacido el 22 de enero de 1972 en Midland, Texas, es un autor Blackfeet Native American que ha dejado una huella prominente en la ficción contemporánea, especialmente en los géneros de terror, experimental y ciencia ficción. Su trayectoria literaria comenzó con su novela debut, The Fast Red Road, en el año 2000, publicada como parte de su tesis doctoral. Desde entonces, ha demostrado una productividad notable, alcanzando más de treinta novelas, además de colecciones de relatos, cómics y novelas cortas.

Su obra destaca por un estilo inquietante que combina elementos tradicionales del horror —como slashers y mitologías indígenas— con reflexiones profundas sobre identidad, cultura y transformación. Títulos como The Only Good Indians, My Heart Is a Chainsaw (primero de la trilogía The Indian Lake) y Don’t Fear the Reaper lo consolidaron como una voz poderosa en el género. También explora temáticas como la venganza, la justicia y la herencia cultural desde una perspectiva indígena.

Además de escritor, Jones es profesor universitario: ocupa la cátedra Ineva Reilly Baldwin Endowed Chair of English en la Universidad de Colorado Boulder, donde fusiona su pasión por la literatura con la docencia.

Reside en Boulder, Colorado, junto con su esposa y sus hijos, y mantiene una conexión activa con su comunidad y tradiciones como miembro de la Nación Blackfeet.
