Thirteen horror stories centered on fear and power

Edited by Terry J. Benton-Walker, this anthology gathers thirteen scary stories by authors of color. Its horror ranges from killer clowns, slashers and restless dead to an old house seeking friends, a hungry hedge maze and a museum curator concerned with “diasporic inaccuracies.” The collection pairs supernatural terrors with modern villains, bringing varied scenarios together under its title’s pointed reversal of a familiar horror trope. The supplied description presents the stories as explorations of fear and power, with settings and threats that move between the uncanny, the historical and the contemporary.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror anthologies
  • Readers seeking short fiction by authors of color
  • Horror fans drawn to supernatural threats and contemporary villains
