Synopsis "the ones that got away"

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who's exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. A woman finds out that the shipwreck wasn't the disaster, but who she's shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and won't, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic. Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more shadows.

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.
