Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams
4.25
challenging dark emotional funny informative mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

4.25* (edging to 4.5*)

A very mixed set of stories - genre/tropes, subject matter, and in a couple of cases, quality.

This isn't a pure horror collection, there's elements of scifi in some stories as well.

Notable standouts for me include Dark Home, The Rider, Flicker, Hide & Seek, The Most Strogest Obeah Woman of  the World, and The Norwood Trouble.

Definitely read Jordan Peele's editors note as that captures the essence of what ties this collection together
