I don't think there's a more fever-dream-like book by him so far, no. Maybe parts towards the end of 'Chainsaw'? This one's on a whole 'nother level t

Off the Reservation (The Only Good Indians, #2):
"This is, single-handedly, the most fever-dream Stephen Graham Jones book I’ve read thus far, to the point that I genuinely wondered if I was somehow three gummies deep and didn’t know it. It was glorious!! I can’t help but feel that this phantasmagor"

Off the Reservation (The Only Good Indians, #2):
"the number of times i've accidentally picked up a sequel to a book i haven't read is genuinely impressive.
(i remedied that before reading this anyway.) (thanks to the publisher for the e-arc/review to come)" |

| I could not put 'Off The Reservation' down and finished it in two days flat, which for a book of its length is saying something. Stephen Graham Jones has a very peculiar voice in his writing that some people don't love, but if you do love it you *can ...more | |

| I'm working my way through all the Discworld books in order right now, and "Soul Music" feels like I'm really getting into the meat and potatoes of Pratchett at the height of his career. The characters are fully fleshed out (even the ones made out of ...more | |

“Don't you get short with me," the woman snapped back. "I am a paying customer."
"Technically not," Nathan mumbled under his breath.
"Excuse me?"
"Technically, he repeated loud enough for her to hear, "you're only a customer when you buy something. Right now you're just an angry old woman with a stick.”

“Doesn't it make you a little sad," [Nathan] mused to Callahan. "A bear's a beautiful creature, and here we are out for blood."
"Beautiful creature, my ass," Callahan replied. "A bear may be a beautiful creature, but a problem bear is, well, another bear altogether. Do you know, Nathan, where the word 'bear' comes from, etymologically speaking?"
Nathan shrugged. "Do I look like a fuckin' etymologist?"
"'Bear' comes from the proto-germanic language, the ancestor to basically all western European languages, including English," explained Callahan. "It comes from 'beorn', which means 'brown one'. The original word for 'bear' in proto-germanic has been lost to time, but probably more closely resembled the latin word 'ursus'. The pagans of prehistoric Europe treated bears as monsters, akin to dragons and trolls. They saw their raw strength and attributed magickal powers to them. The theory is that, by calling the animal by its proper name 'ursus', you would summon one, so they used the euphemism 'the brown one' instead, and it stuck around longer than the animal's original name."
"They're not all monsters, though," said Nathan, suddenly very concerned with defending the unproblematic bears. "That's what makes the bad ones 'problem bears' and not just 'bears'."
"No, of course not. And now we use the Latin and Greek names for them, scientifically speaking. Now that we treat them like animals and not monsters, we call them Ursus arctos in scientific literature, literally 'bear bear'. It's their old names, demystified. But out here in the woods?" Callahan gestured behind them, and Nathan realized that they'd now followed Dingo far enough into the woods that they could no longer see the cabin, the relative safety of their truck, or any immediate hope for backup behind them. "Out here in the woods, a bear is a bear.”
