The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

The final girl is back—and Indian Lake isn’t finished with her yet.

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones is the bloody, emotional conclusion to the Indian Lake Trilogy, bringing Jade Daniels’ slasher-soaked story to one final confrontation with the horrors haunting Proofrock, Idaho.

Years of violence have changed Jade, but they haven’t taken away her encyclopedic knowledge of horror movies—or her instinct for recognizing when the bodies piling up around town are more than coincidence. When a new wave of terror descends on Proofrock, old legends, buried secrets, and very real killers begin to blur together. Once again, Jade finds herself at the center of a nightmare that feels frighteningly familiar.

But this time, surviving isn’t enough.

Brutal, smart, strange, and surprisingly heartfelt, The Angel of Indian Lake is both a love letter to slasher films and a story about trauma, survival, identity, and what happens to the “final girl” after the credits roll.

Perfect for readers who love: slashers, literary horror, final girls, Indigenous horror, supernatural mysteries, buckets of blood, and horror stories with something deeper beating beneath the gore.

Note: This is the third and final book in the Indian Lake Trilogy, following My Heart Is a Chainsaw and Don’t Fear the Reaper.
