Description

A National Bestseller

The final installment in the most lauded trilogy in the history of horror novels picks up four years after Don’t Fear the Reaper as Jade returns to Proofrock, Idaho, to build a life after the years of sacrifice—only to find the Lake Witch is waiting for her in New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones’s finale.

It’s been four years in prison since Jade Daniels last saw her hometown of Proofrock, Idaho, the day she took the fall, protecting her friend Letha and her family from incrimination. Since then, her reputation, and the town, have changed dramatically. There’s a lot of unfinished business in Proofrock, from serial killer cultists to the rich trying to buy Western authenticity. But there’s one aspect of Proofrock no one wants to confront…until Jade comes back to town. The curse of the Lake Witch is waiting, and now is the time for the final stand.

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones has crafted an epic horror trilogy of generational trauma from the Indigenous to the townies rooted in the mountains of Idaho. It is a story of the American west written in blood.

Reviews

*"Riotously entertaining…This is a worthy finale to a series that has expanded the horizons of contemporary horror.”

* "It is the perfect conclusion to this trilogy of ghosts and monsters, both earthly and supernatural, and of secrets that must finally be brought to the surface. A story masterfully told, but most of all, one that provides a final girl to cherish...Jones has given the world a gift, an epic tale for the ages, both a violent, high-octane slasher and a frank, thought-provoking indictment of the U.S., past and present."

"A determinedly feminist reexamination of the concept of the Final Girl."

"Jones makes executing a satisfying horror trilogy look easy, in a way that very few authors to date have managed."
