Critics Review
Not only likely to be the best anthology of the year, but one for the ages. * The Guardian *
These tales are all both gruesomely imaginative and firmly rooted in the realities of anti-Black racism and brutality—and there isn’t a weak one in the bunch. This is essential reading for any horror fan. – Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
Something special in time for Halloween. * Evening Standard *
What could be more cathartic than this thoroughly chilling collection of tales featuring spirits, monsters, sinister technology, foreboding hallucinations and more? Running the gamut from grounded-in-reality shocks to fully supernatural thrills there’s something for horror fans of all varieties. * Sight & Sound *
Real life (traffic stops) and real history (Freedom Riders, lynch mobs) meet speculative fiction and the supernatural in this bone-chilling collection. * Time *
An important work in the history of black horror fiction. * Far Out Magazine *
In Out There Screaming, [Peele] curates a roster of established names and breakthrough talent to showcase the abundant variety of macabre Black storytelling. It’s clearly conceived as a landmark collection * Esquire, The Best Horror Books of 2023 Will Scare You Sh*tless *
A brilliant anthology of stories that will keep you awake at night and linger with you in the day. I loved it. – Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under
