Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror will be published on October 3 via Random House. It's curated by filmmaker Jordan Peele, who also provides an introduction and serves as editor with John Joseph Adams.

It features short stories by 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.

The 400-page book will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio book. The synopsis is below.

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world... and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Pre-order Out There Screaming.

THE SANDMAN UNIVERSE #1 • cover art • Jae Lee [Aug 2018]

Bestselling author Neil Gaiman brings us a new world filled with dreams, nightmares and wonderful characters living together in a shared universe for a new story unlike anything we've ever seen before.

A rift between worlds has opened, revealing a space beyond the Dreaming. Meanwhile, a book from Lucien's library is discovered by a group of children in the waking world where it should not exist. Lucien calls for Matthew the Raven to seek out their master, Daniel, Lord of Dreams.

As Matthew flies across the Waking World and others, he finds a young boy named Timothy Hunter who, in his dreams, has become the world's most powerful magician—but in his nightmares he is the world's greatest villain. A new House has appeared in the realm of the Dreaming: the House of Whispers, with its proprietor, a fortune-teller called Erzulie. And elsewhere, Lucifer has fallen again, only this time he might be trapped in a Hell of his own design.

Spiraling out of this special issue will be four all-new series set in the Sandman Universe.

Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson

I really enjoyed this book! A young woman in a post-society collapse Toronto must call on the spirits to help the man she loves escape from danger, only to find that the danger is coming for her as well. And when it does, it will wear a familiar face.

Ti-Jeanne’s journey begins in limbo, with a new baby, separated from the man she wants, reliant on her grandmother and chafing against that bond. But also unsure what to do or even what she wants to do. By the end, she’s more sure of herself, knows more and knows how much more there is to know, but she’s also still becoming. It’s not all resolved, but she’s finally the one doing the deciding in her own life.

SISTER MINE by Nalo Hopkinson

RELEASE DATE: March 12, 2013

Canadian science fiction/fantasy author Hopkinson (The Chaos, 2012, etc.) goes about five steps too far in this wildly overstuffed tale blending made-up nature mythology with a coming-of-age odyssey.

Makeda and Abby are the daughters of a human woman and a demigod who rules all growing things, an illicit union that got Mom turned into a water monster dwelling in Lake Ontario and Dad temporarily exiled into human flesh. Moreover, the girls were born conjoined, and their surgical separation nearly led to Abby’s death until Mom persuaded her brother-in-law, guardian of life and death, to give the baby another chance. The rest of Dad’s family let that breach pass since Abby has mojo and could almost be a demigod, except she’s mortal, while Makeda is a mere “claypicken” with no supernatural powers whatever and hence disdained by her celestial kin. If that sounds murky, it only gets murkier as we learn that the “haint” (ghost) that periodically attacks Makeda is actually her mojo, which got loose at birth and is now trying to rejoin her—but in the meantime Dad loaned her his mojo and won’t get it back till she dies. Hopkinson has lost none of her gift for salty, Caribbean-Canadian talk—“those boho Obamanegroes with their braided hemp necklaces” being one of her funnier jabs—and the relationship between Makeda and Abby always rings true: resentment and anger enduringly intertwined with love and loyalty. But a fantasy setup that was overly elaborate to begin with gets increasingly absurd as one bizarre development follows another. It’s regrettable, since there are a few gorgeous passages—particularly the one where Makeda rediscovers her mojo while making a magic carpet that doubles as a contemporary art project—that remind us how good this talented author can be when she disciplines her imagination just a tad.

Excessive and overwrought, though Hopkinson’s fans may love it anyway.

The Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy 2022 edited by Rebecca Roanhorse (guest) & John Joseph Adams

4 out of 5 stars.

This is a collection of twenty of the best science fiction and fantasy short stories published in North America during 2021 as selected by guest editor Rebecca Roanhorse, author of "Black Sun", among other books.

A Netgalley ARC provided courtesy of HarperCollins, the scheduled publication date is November 1, 2022.

Contents:

"10 Steps to a Whole New You" by Tonya Liburd "The Pizza Boy" by Meg Elison "If the Martians Have Magic" by P. Djeli Clark "Delete Your First Memory for Free" by Kel Colman "The Red Mother" by Elizabeth Bear "The Cold Calculations" by Aimee Ogden "The Captain and the Quartermaster" by C. L. Clark "Broad Dutty Water: A Sunken Story" by Nalo Hopkinson "I Was a Teenage Space Jockey" by Stephen Graham Jones "Let All the Children Boogie" by Sam J.

Yoachim "The Future Library" by Peng Shepherd "L'Esprit de L'Escalier" by Catherynne M. Valente "Tripping Through Time" by Rich Larson "The Frankly Impossible Weight of Han" by Maria Dong "Root Rot" by Fargo Tbakhi

A fantastic collection of stories with varying degrees of fantasy and science fiction woven within. The collection, in my opinion, tends to lean more towards fantasy or a mixture of the two rather than pure SF. A couple even have subtle touches of horror elements.

The main focus of all the stories is people, not hardware, not technology, and not magic, although all three do enter into the kickoff of many of the stories. People, as all really good SF and Fantasy should center on, their emotions, their reactions to what is happening, and their interpersonal relationships to others. Some of these stories touched me deeply, one made me cry, and all made me think.

In all honesty, I couldn't pick a favorite. In various ways they all had something important to say, many of them falling under the increasingly popular and widespread environmental science fiction subcategory. Would I recommend this collection and to whom? Yes, most definitely I would to all readers who like thought provoking fiction, no love or even experience with SFF required.

Books read in March 2024

-Cat Out of Hell by Lynne Truss started and finished on March 1, 2024 - 4/5 stars. Quick read as it was a short book. I enjoyed it. Took me a while to figure that a character was an actual character in the book and not just a made up name.

-Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn started March 3, 2024 and finished March 7, 2024 - 4/5 stars. Who wouldn't want to read a book about retired assassins doing what they do best? I feel like I would have liked it more if I was in my 60s and menopausal.

-Bloodchild and other stories by Octavia Butler started March 8, 2024 and finished March 9, 2024 - 4/5 stars. Octavia Butler had some interesting ideas for Science Fiction. Made me realize I should read more of Octavia Butler and or sci fi by people of color

-The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd started March 9, 2024 and finished March 14, 2024 - 5/5 stars. Great book. The backstory and connection between all the characters was sweet. Make me think about how the situation could have been solved a different way but if it was then the book wouldn't have happened so whatever.

-Africa Risen edited by Sheree Renée Thomas started March 15, 2024 and finished March 20, 2024. - 4/5 stars. Some really cool ass science fiction stories in here. I should check out the authors involved.

-The Book of M by Peng Shepherd started March 20, 2024 and finished March 27, 2024. - 5/5 stars. This book is devastating and so good. I thought it would be just about the man searching for his wife but it was so much more. I thought about this book the next day so thats something. Question: Are you the same person if you have the memories but not the same body?

-Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson started March 28, 2024 and finished March 29, 2024. -4/5 stars. Interesting story. Book was written in an certain way so it took me a while to get used to it. Makes me think I should check out this authors other books.

-A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen started March 30, 2024. I haven't finished it yet. I have read three other books by this author so I know it's going to be good.

Book I DNFed

-A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan - The plot sounded interesting to me. I couldn't get into it though.

Expanded Review: "Skin Folk" by Nalo Hopkinson -

Not merely a collection of horror tales, Hopkinson expands the horror genre, never forgetting that stories are about character, only underscored by the supernatural. Offering breadth and depth, the only thing wanting in these tales is room to stretch for more still.
