Dead.
Some evils are so great that they transcend death. In Brandon Massey’s The Patriarch, a young writer travels to the hushed backwoods of Mississippi, where dangerous secrets surface as a generations-old feud comes to bone-chilling new life . . .
Buried.
The souls of the mistreated always find a way to be heard. In L. A. Banks’s Ev’ry Shut Eye Ain’t Sleep, violent visions haunt a man — until he’s handed an opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and prevent unspeakable acts from occurring once again . . .
Forgotten.
When horrors are covered up and lost, our ancestors must find a way — even in death — to tell their tales. In Tananarive Due’s Ghost Summer, ancestors haunt the nights of two children. And when a grisly discovery is made, these ancestors will make their mark on both the dead and the living . . .
Table of Contents:
- Ev’ry Shut Eye Ain’t Sleep by L. A. Banks
- The Patriarch by Brandon Massey
- Ghost Summer by Tananarive Due

Sorry I’m late to my own party but I had a little trouble with my website — mostly it didn’t want to let me in.
Today we’ll look at an older horror anthology which is still available in trade paperback and in e-book format.
In this collection, you’ll find several prominent African-American authors taking a stab at horror fiction as well as one author who had already won her first Stoker Award before this book came out and would go on to win two more: Linda Addison.
