Everybody in Town Knows

Genre: Southern Gothic • Magical Realism • Black Speculative Fiction
Paperback • eBook • less than 100 pages

A haunted house. A steaming plate of candied yams. A bottle of moonshine. And a question no one will answer: “Where are y’all from, exactly?”

This is a darkly enchanting anthology of short stories all rooted in the rich, complex traditions of Black Southern life.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

• Unspoken family histories that whisper through boarded-up kitchens

• Women who wield power in silence, song, and shadows

• Queer characters navigating identity in places where time stands still

Told through a sharp, original voice, these stories channel the eerie calm of a Sunday afternoon gone wrong.

Perfect for readers who love:

• The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

• Beloved by Toni Morrison

• Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff

• Films like Get Out, Eve’s Bayou, or The Skeleton Key

Southern Gothic literature that is humid, haunting, and full of Black magic.
