Stephen Graham Jones is a fantastic writer with a distinctive voice in all his works. His depiction of werewolf transformation is gnarly, and I loved every moment. His descriptions of gore are some of the best I've ever read, creating extremely vivid imagery. There's also a wealth of intriguing lore surrounding the werewolves. The characters are well-rounded and leap off the page. Plus, it gets bonus points for being partially set in my home state.
