Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Sharp, searing, with a masterful use of language, Attack of the 50 Foot Indian is a brilliant satire of the portrayal of American Indians from breakout author Stephen Graham Jones.
A Tale of Two Moons.
Every government of every nation debates what to do when a fifty-foot tall man, dressed in a loincloth and dripping from the sea, appears off the Siberian coast. As the American people puzzle over how he came to be and what to do next, the news outlets start calling the titan “Two Moons,” social media abducts him into the memesphere, and the military, well, they have their own action-plan for dealing with threats to what they mistakenly consider their homeland.
With unapologetic honesty and wit, Stephen Graham Jones cuts to the bone of the stereotypes used for American Indians, showcasing his talent as a humorist and as one of our great American writers in this short story.

“This was so much shorter than I anticipated because half of the ebook is just a preview for The Only Good Indians! Had a fun time with this one as it reminded me of cheesy movies I would watch as a kid. I wish more people got squashed in this one especially after hearing how they talked. Great ending!”

“A fun short story by SGJ! The more you reflect on this brief story, the more you realise how lighthearted and impactful it is, illustrating the typical stereotypes present in society. Also how incredible is the cover!!”
