About The Book
A blend of fact and fiction, Growing Up Dead in Texas takes us back to new master of horror Stephen Graham Jones’s hometown and explores a decade-old crime that tore the community apart.
Prolific, award-winning author Stephen Graham Jones deftly blends fiction and reality in this captivating novel about small-town paranoia and coming home. Twenty-five years ago in Greenwood, Texas, a violent fire erupted in the tiny cotton-growing community. No one ever took responsibility and no one was ever caught. Instead, the town moved forward as if nothing happened. Today, the embers still smolder, but a reckoning may soon be on the horizon.
