Stephen Graham Jones gutted me like a fish. Feel like Casey Becker hanging from a tree with my innards falling out.
There's a bit in the acknowledgements (which I also cried at, because I don't want this to be the end) where he says "the cool thing about trilogies is you get to use every last part of the buffalo". By fuck did he use every last part--everything goes down in this finale. All the town lore combines and Proofrock undergoes it's one last hectic and gory night of chaos and blood-shed.

I adore the Indian Lake trilogy, and this is a wonderful finale. It’s no surprise I loved it. I’ve got very little to say except: read it! And if you haven’t read the first two books, run don’t walk.
Jade Daniels, I will love you forever. This book really cements Jade as one of the best characters horror has seen in years.
