The White Guy Dies First: 13 Scary Stories of Fear and Power by Terry J. Benton-Walker
5.0
The White Guy Dies First
Edited by Terry J. Benton-Walker
5/5⭐️
Genres: short stories, horror, YA, fiction
The White Guy Dies First is a collection of 13 gruesome horror stories from 13 talented authors of colour.
Some of these authors have works that I have read before: Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, Adiba Jaigirdar, H.E Edgmon, Kalynn Bayron, Chloe Gong, and Tiffany D. Jackson. However, I've never read most of them in this genre before!
The remainder of the authors were new to me: Kendare Blake, Lamar Giles, Alexis Henderson, Naseem Jamnia, Mark Oshiro, Karen Strong, and Terry J. Benton-Walker.
I enjoyed every single story in this collection.
From killer clowns, to demons, to seances, to haunted parks and houses, this collection contains many of the popular horror tropes. My particular favourites were "The Golden Dragon" by Kendare Blake, featuring a rapist-murdering ghost; and "Everything's Coming Up Roses" by Tiffany D. Jackson, the tale of a serial killer presented as a series of diary entries; while Adiba Jaigirdar's "Heaven" would make a brilliant novel.
I highly recommend this collection to those of you who enjoy horror, and will definitely be rereading these stories in the future.
