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.
