Stephen Graham Jones's latest novel, I Was a Teenage Slasher, is a coming-of-age tale with a twist.

Stephen Graham Jones, the New York Times bestselling author of 30-plus novels, short stories and comic books, will discuss his latest work of fiction, I Was A Teenage Slasher, on Thursday, July 18, at Nowhere Bookshop.

Set in a small, tight-knit West Texas community reminiscent of Jones’s hometown, I Was a Teenage Slasher is a horror-inflected coming-of-age story told in first-person by a murderer who also happens to be the novel’s protagonist. Jones will delve into the novel in conversation with Austin-based writer Richard Z. Santos.

Jones is the recipient of the 2023 American Indian Festival of Words Writers Award and the Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy & Speculative Fiction. He’s also a four-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award.

Tickets for the in-store event include a signed copy of the book and may be purchased online.
