The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

by Stephen Jones · 2026

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a genre‑blending novel by Stephen Graham Jones that weaves horror, historical fiction, and literary storytelling. Set across three eras—1870, 1912 and 2012—the narrative unfolds as a series of conversations between an aging Lutheran pastor in Miles City, Montana and Good Stab, a Blackfeet vampire. Presented in an epistolary, diary‑style format, the book interrogates history, justice and retribution while delivering relentless blood‑soaked violence. It has earned major accolades, including the 2025 Nebula Award, a Bram Stoker Award, a Locus Award for Horror, and a spot on the New York Times 100 Notable Books of the Year, even being named a Barack Obama summer read.
