Mongrels
by Stephen Graham Jones
DID NOT FINISH: 41%
I find that Stephen Graham Jones's narrative style and loose approach to plot structure were not to my liking. Much of his style that garners praise came off to me as flamboyant at best and pretentious at worst.
I love the idea of Stephen Graham Jones's plots based on their jacket descriptions, and I especially love that he serves a Native American voice which channels a unique and sorely needed perspective into horror/popular fiction, but it's the writing itself that acts as a barrier to entry for me.
I will try something else by him in hopes that only Mongrels was infuriating to me, but I'll admit to some apprehension since my problems seem very much ingrained in the style and personality of Jones's prose.
