Jordan Peele curates this anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation.
Satisfies the seasonal need for scary, starting off strong with an introduction by its editor, the filmmaker Jordan Peele. The rest of the table of contents is a veritable who’s who of black writers in genre fiction ... Many of the stories are traditionally creepy yarns, with nary a bad one in the bunch.
Serves mood in abundance. The sense of isolation its title evokes refers to the eerie tales in its pages as well as to Black people’s uneasy history with the genre.
