As a woman who grew up reading and watching all things horror , the black girl always died. It was frustrating to watch horror movie after horror movie and find that the black characters always died. This book gives us 15 horror stories by 15 different authors where the black girl is the last girl standing .*excuse me while I ugly cry*. The dedication and forward before you even begin the stories really had me cheering with tears in my eyes . For these authors to come together to create stories where the black girl is not going to die, but survive and grow in their strength really empowered me. I really think any black and brown girl who loves horror will love this book . It’s one to keep and hold near and dear. I think this is a great book for teen girls to read. You have werewolves, generational curses, haunted houses, zombies, and so much more all within the pages of one book. If you ever wondered what it would be like for a black girl to be the last one standing in a horror story this is the book for you . To the authors of this book : I thank you from the very bottom of my soul . This book was such a pleasure to read. My younger self and my inner child are jumping for joy.I hope there is more like it to come. Job well done .

All opinions are honest and my own . I received this book as a ARC from Netgalley.
