* It was a fire that could be seen for miles, a fire that split the
community, a fire that turned families on each other, a fire that
it's still hard to get a straight answer about. A quarter of a
century ago, someone held a match to Greenwood, Texas's cotton.
Stephen Graham Jones was twelve that year. What he remembers best,
what's stuck with him all this time, is that nobody ever came
forward to claim that destruction. And nobody was ever caught.
Greenwood just leaned forward into next year's work, and the year
after that, pretending that the fire had never happened. But it
had. This fire, it didn't start twenty-five years ago. It had been
smouldering for years by then. And everybody knew it. Getting them
to say anything about it's another thing, though. Now Stephen's
going back. His first time since high school, and maybe his last.
For answers, for closure, for the people who can't go back. The
ones who never got to leave. Part mystery, part memoir, Growing Up
Dead in Texas is packed with more secrets than your average
graveyard. Stephen Graham Jones' breakout novel is a story about
farming. A story about Texas. A story about finally standing up
from the dead and walking away.
