The Black Girl Survives in This One
Ratings3
Average rating3.8
read for reading my most anticipated 2024 releases vlog: coming soon
i wanted so much more horror from this than i got. i've read some really great short horror and some really great ya horror so idk this one fell flat but it did. the concepts were cool but execution was lackluster.
About half of the collection was pretty good, the other half just didn't really come across as memorable or impactful to me, that being said I'm not in the age range to be the target audience for this collection.
My favorite stories were:
Welcome back to the cosmos – Space horror will always hold a special place in my heart.
The brides of devils bayou – The one with the strongest characterization in my opinion.
TMI – The most interesting/unusual premise.
Black pride – Charming but I would have liked more horror.
Queeniums for Greenium – Fat girl resisting a “wellness” cult, you know I was going to be down with that one!
The skittering thing – Interesting imagery, would have liked a little more character building.
3.5 rounded up.
