Interview with the Vampire wrapped in The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. Jones is a challenging, but worthwhile read and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is no exception.
This novel is also coming out at an opportune moment, coming in the midst of a seeming spike in vampire media popularity, like Nosferatu and Sinners recently. Like Sinners, Jones uses the vampire as a vehicle to explore the violent extraction and bloodshed at the heart of American expansionism. Good Stab is, in some ways, sympathetic, appearing as almost a tragic, sentimental figure, but he is still a monstrous nightmare.
I will be thinking about this novel for a long time.
