The Indian Lake Trilogy, Book 3

De: Stephen Graham Jones

Narrado por: Isabella Star LaBlanc, Barbara Crampton, Angela Goethals, Andrew J. Robinson, Stephen Graham Jones, Stephen King

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.

This trilogy slays me

The voice, of course, like the first book but even more layers—reminds me why I read, reminds me why I write, reminds me to live, to fight to really live.

The Final Girl Finale

The end of the Indian Lake Trilogy was as expected with of course more Mayhem for the Town of Proofrock. The Final girl takes her last stand against whatever is killing everyone. Bits of the past massacre are part of the finale. Stephen Graham Jones is a wonderful writer. The whole Trilogy was amazing with excellent character developments and superb plot lines.

Just go ahead and get it

Almost lost me in the middle but it's really good. A nearly perfect finish to a great trilogy. I'll miss you Jade!

save me SGJ

This series is beautiful and heartbreaking and i almost want to cry now that i’ve finished. Jade is so many of us, so much of who we want to be. SGJ is a lifeline.

Incredible ending to this brilliant trilogy

The title of the review says it all, really. What a bitter, intense, triumphant ending to the story that began in “My Heart is a Chainsaw.” I raised a fist and enjoyed the ending of this so much. It was everything I could have hoped for.

If you’ve read “My Heart is a Chainsaw” and “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” you need to read “The Angel of Indian Lake.” If you haven’t, go read them now, and then come back here.

I could write an essay - Jade Daniels’ style - about the whole trilogy. About how I see “Growing Up Dead in Texas” as a sort of well that the author returns to over and again throughout Jade’s story. About how it’s a love letter to Native American women and girls, their victimization, and their survival. About how horror movies create a whole world with its own rules, and how he mines that world without ever reducing its impact by making it a farce.

I appreciate Stephen King’s cameo in this audiobook. He must have wanted to be a part of Jade’s world as much as the rest of us readers. It’s high praise, and much deserved.

SGJ has said he’s done writing Jade’s story. I’ll believe it when I see it. I think her voice will continue to be part of his future work. I’ll just have to go on reading everything he publishes to find out.

Fantastic ending to an amazing trilogy

SGJ is such an amazing author and this is definitely one of my favorite trilogies.

worth the wait!!

Both the story and the narrators went all out!! catches you from the first few seconds and doesn't let you go

I love Jade Daniels

It was a bit too long, and too many characters and deaths to keep track of.

Character and world building

Great pace, interesting story perspective, and very memorable characters. I highly recommend the whole trilogy.

I hate it when the trilogy ends

Not many horror stories will introduce you to a final girl that has such beautiful depth but that’s not something Stephen Graham Jones. It’s final bow you want to tied properly, and it does.
