One of my favorite horror anthologies so far that I’ve read this year - most of the stories were a 4 or 5 star for me. This collection did a great job of having a mix of stories with a variety of tones - there was the more campy and humorous stories but also the more dire and bleak stories and even those with body horror and monstrous elements. All with through lines of both race and sexuality and discussion on how these interacted with elements of each story. Highly recommend this collection and it should also be a great way to test out a variety of Black authors with other great works to explore. 

My favorites were definitely: 
  • No Harm Done 
  • The consumption of Vienna Montrose 
  • I love your eyes 
  • All my best friends are dead 

Only a few I didn’t really end up liking as they felt a bit more slow and didn’t have as much impact as the others in the collection: 
  • Papa Pearlie 
  • Mother, Daughter, and the Devil
  • The Landscape of Broken Things
