This Halloween, acclaimed director Jordan Peele is bringing something special to the horror genre: a brand new anthology of stories written only by Black authors. "Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror" will hit online retailers and bookstore shelves on October 3rd, just in time for the spooky season.
The collection of short stories promises to explore the supernatural along with the real-life terrors of injustice. Fangoria reported on the project, which is being published by Penguin Random House with a simultaneous audio edition from Penguin Random House Audio.
A few previews of the stories have been released, and they definitely give readers a taste of the chilling ride that awaits. From a cop seeing huge blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be, to two freedom riders stranded on a lonely road in Alabama, to a young girl diving into the depths of the Earth in search of a demon, these tales are sure to prey on our expectations and redefine fear.
The anthology is sure to be a hit with an all-star roster of writers, including Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.
