The monsters aren’t always supernatural. Sometimes they wear a badge, drive the night bus, or look back at you in the mirror. Out There Screaming, edited by Jordan Peele and John Joseph Adams, gathers a powerhouse lineup of Black authors to explore horror rooted in both the otherworldly and the all-too-real.
From haunted highways to cursed legacies, each story in this anthology exposes the thin line between societal fear and supernatural terror. Contributors like N. K. Jemisin, Tananarive Due, and Nnedi Okorafor deliver tales that disturb, challenge, and linger long after the lights go out.
Winner of the Bram Stoker, British Fantasy, and Locus Awards, this collection proves that horror is more than monsters—it’s the truth we refuse to face.
