A review by ratelyn
Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams

dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

all in all this is a strong collection of short stories. some stood out to me more than others. some were cool ideas but may have been better suited for a longer-form. all offered important commentary on the black experience and the inherent horror elements of being black in america.

my favorites:

• eye & tooth by rebecca roanhorse
• pressure by ezra claytan daniels
• your happy place by terence taylor
• hide & seek by p. djeli clark
