Blackfeet author Stephen Graham Jones brings readers a spine-tingling Native American horror novella.

Walking through his own house at night, a fifteen-year-old thinks he sees another person stepping through a doorway. Instead of the people who could be there, his mother or his brother, the figure reminds him of his long-gone father, who died mysteriously before his family left the reservation. When he follows it he discovers his house is bigger and deeper than he knew.

The house is the kind of wrong place where you can lose yourself and find things you'd rather not have. Over the course of a few nights, chasing the ghost of his father and the promise of his Native American heritage, the boy tries to map out his house in an effort that puts his little brother in the worst danger, and puts him in the position to save his family . . . at terrible cost.

Reviews for Mapping the Interior

WINNER of the 2017 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction - Nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novella! ""Brilliant."" --The New York Times ""A triumph. So emotionally raw, disturbing, creepy, and brilliant. You will not be unmoved. You will not be unaffected. It's a ghost story in the truest, darkest, most melancholy sense. Stephen knows we are haunted by our parents, our families, and our shared pasts as much as we are haunted by ourselves; haunted by who we were, who we become, and who we could've been."" --Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of A Head Full of Ghosts ""Part S.E. Hinton and part Shirley Jackson. It's about being young and broke, and that moment when you first wonder who your parents really are. The answers are out there, but they will leave you haunted forever."" --Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series and co-author of The Dead Take the A Train ""Jones's neat little horror novella balances an energetic narrative with larger explorations of the inescapable burdens of family ties...Wonderfully refreshing and not to be missed."" --Publishers Weekly ""A darkly meditative tale of innocence, family, and ghosts that only Stephen Graham Jones could tell."" --New York Journal of Books ""Jones explores the fraught and tangled landscape of memory in its various forms -- dream and nightmare, presence and absence, specter and reality -- through a narrative that merges dark fantasy and horror with a classic coming-of-age story."" --Los Angeles Review of Books ""Mapping the Interior is Jones at his best."" --PANK Magazine ""A chilling tale told from a less-heard perspective, Mapping the Interior is the type of horror story you keep on your shelf for regular hauntings."" --Rue Morgue ""Mapping the Interior is thus a masterful critique of time, place, and memory in (post/de)colonial contexts that surfaces questions urgent for Native literature, horror fiction, and American history."" --World Literature Today
