This was a top tier collection of short stories that I could barely put down. The representation was everything‼️ Each author created a unique balance of emotions and unpredictability within their stories. We get mystery, suspense, supernatural elements, folklore retellings, ancestral inheritance, generational curses, terror and fear woven together to highlight a courageous Black character in the end. With any collection there are stories that will always standout amongst the rest.
Favorite short stories:
Ghost Light
The Screamers
Queeniums from Greenium!
Black Girl Nature Group
Local Color
The Black Strings
Overall, this was an amazing collection highly recommended. The pacing was fast, it was vivid and well-written. You’ll never experience a dull moment with this one. I always felt connected to the stories and the characters. Special thanks to the author & @flatironbooks for my advanced copy.
