Read these!!!

Do you like disturbing short fiction? Do you like black mirror? Do you like horror that's somewhat absurd and yet seems believable? Are you afraid of how warm this pot you're sitting in is getting?

Read these.

This debut short story collection is nothing short of stellar. I think there were maybe two stories where I didn't get full on jaw dropping brain tingles. Otherwise, every single story made me want to scream into the void. (Almost?) all stories are told in first person from the perspective of a young black person and describe a horrific "what if". These stories contain unflinching violence, righteous anger, and bursting creativity.

Recommended so widely, but especially if you want perspectives of the terrors of growing up black in America, late stage capitalistic hellscapes, and getting stuck in loops (of time, of suffering, of routine). Wow wow wow.
