About this listen
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel
In her quickly gentrifying rural lake town Jade sees recent events only her encyclopedic knowledge of horror films could have prepared her for in this latest chilling novel that “will give you nightmares. The good kind, of course” (BuzzFeed) from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, Stephen Graham Jones.
“Some girls just don’t know how to die…”
Shirley Jackson meets Friday the 13th in My Heart Is a Chainsaw, written by the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians Stephen Graham Jones, called “a literary master” by National Book Award winner Tananarive Due and “one of our most talented living writers” by Tommy Orange.
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.
Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold.
Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.

When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying: the SATs are tomorrow, and checking the Native American/Alaskan Native box on all the forms doesn’t mean jack if you choke on test day. But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes—Ron is a nurse, in an old-fashioned white skirt-uniform, and Desi has an Authentic Squaw costume, complete with buckskin and feathered headdress. Excitement is in the air.

Story
From New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American-Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American-Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a vengeful way.

Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive... In that instant, college student Quincy Carpenter became a member of a very exclusive club - a group of survivors the press dubbed “The Final Girls”: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who endured the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape the massacre at Pine Cottage. Despite the media's attempts, the three girls have never met.

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, 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. 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.

The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

What he remembers best, what's stuck with him all this time, is that nobody ever came forward to claim that destruction. And nobody was ever caught. Greenwood just leaned forward, pretending that the fire had never happened.

Story
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, 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. 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.

There are lines that probably shouldn't be crossed, doors that should stay shut, thoughts that shouldn't be considered. In these three novellas by Stephen Graham Jones, the dead talk, ancient evil opens its eyes, and that guy across the parking lot, he's watching you, and has been for a while now. Lock the door; tell yourself it's nothing; turn the radio up. It won't matter. You're already three miles past where you meant to stop.

Top tier contemporary horror
I was very close to giving this one 5 stars but it didn't quite hang together at the end for me. Overall I think that Stephen Graham Jones is one of the finest horror writers working today. He has a strong voice and unique vision that sets him apart from his peers.
Chainsaw takes the slasher genre and basically turns it inside out to provide a fresh perspective on an older genre. The plotting is tight and the characters are unique and engaging. I was with Jade step for step even at her worst moments and felt a real emotional investment in her journey, as odd and twisted as it was. She's a deeply damaged and beautiful soul and I felt for her from the beginning.
As I mentioned, the one place this book fell short for me is the very end. This is a dark and harrowing journey and I felt hungry for a catharsis at the end that I don't feel ever arrived. It's not bad like it's horrible, it just isn't satisfying and I don't think it lives up to all of the incredible pages that preceeded it.
Despite this flaw, the rest of the book is strong enough to make it one of the best modern horror novels I have read in a long time.

Fascinating to listen
this is my second audio by this author. I really find his stories intriguing. you have to have an interesting mind to produce the types of stories he writes. I am not a slasher movie person so while I watch horror movies they are not the Freddy Kruger genre. so I am amazed by the intricacies that make up this story.

Horror fan must-read
I love Stephen Graham Jones’ work. I’ve read several of his books in the past year and if you enjoy scary stories he is a must-read. This book in particular is a love letter to the genre which was a lot of fun. The protagonist is engaging and unique and the performance was great fantastic. Highly recommend.

Great Story. Incredible Performance
Another great tale from SGJ, but Cara Gee's narration elevated it to one of my top 5 audible listens. She brought Jade to life in a way that I hadn't ever experienced with an audible book.

Pitch perfect
Easily the best audiobook version of a physical I’ve ever read, hope Reaper keeps it going in this direction.

Not a bad listen.
I saw this story on IGN's list of top 10 horror novels, and then I saw it had gotten the Bram Stoker award. Seeing this may have given the story hype and given me high expectations. Expectations that the story didn't Eben come close to meeting. I felt like there was a lot of story left up in the air and I felt like cheated by the ending.

A love letter to horror movies and the comfort that they bring
I loved every second of this book. Cara Gee’s performance was spectacular. Jade is one of my favorite characters in recent memory. She’s given such gravity, such tenderness, and good humor. She carries her trauma like so many young women do, with the idiosyncratic mix of rage and aplomb that is so heartbreaking and endearing that you just wish you could jump into the story and tell her that she deserves love in her life. The story itself is clever and twisty and doesn’t quite stick the landing perfectly, but the wonderful character writing more than makes up for the faults. If you grew up with your own pain and sublimated it in the fantastic and horrifying, this book is for you.

Excellent story telling
Not gonna lie, the narrator takes a little getting used to, but stick with it; it soon becomes the voice of the main character who is complex and beautiful and flawed. This story is fun and deep in ways you don’t expect in this genre-totally engaging. Highly recommended (and make sure you listen to the author’s acknowledgment at the end for insight into the inspiration for his characters and setting).

Great performance
Great writing, too. There’s a lot of gore, described viscerally, but you probably could anticipate that.
