彩民宝典

Wild dogs chased, spooked and cornered Stephen Graham Jones when he was a boy in West Texas. Echoes of that, and other episodes, appear in the English professor鈥檚 latest horror novel, Mongrels, which topped the Denver Post鈥檚 bestseller list and which SciFiNow dubs a 鈥渂rilliant werewolf story that you need to read.鈥�

Mongrels is a coming-of-age tale about a young man whose family is shunned and constantly moving鈥攂ecause they happen to be werewolves. Fusing pop-culture references, humor and horror, Jones describes one werewolf this way: 鈥淗is hair was perfect.鈥�

By the light of day at 彩民宝典, Jones has taught courses on horror genres, including werewolves and zombies, as well as screenwriting and general fiction. But he gets twitchy when he doesn鈥檛 write. So he moonlights as an author.

With more than 20 books and multiple awards, the Texas kid who didn鈥檛 think he鈥檇 go to college now enjoys making readers howl.
