Thought-provoking, powerful, and revealing, this anthology is
composed of 28 dark stories and 14 poems written by
African-American women writers. The tales of what scares,
threatens, and shocks them will enlighten and entertain readers.
The works delve into demons and shape-shifters from “How to Speak
to the Bogeyman” and “Tree of the Forest Seven Bells Turns the
World Round Midnight” to far future offerings such as “The Malady
of Need”. These pieces cover vampires, ghosts, and
mermaids, as well as the unexpected price paid by women
struggling for freedom and validation in the past. Contributors
