Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation.
“Every piece is strong and memorable, making this not only likely to be the best anthology of the year, but one for the ages.”—The Guardian
WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD • FINALIST FOR THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD AND THE LOCUS AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Esquire, Chicago Public Library, CrimeReads
A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.
Featuring stories by: Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.

“definitely one of the best anthologies I've read so far, each story was so well written and so many of my favorite authors had stories in here which was awesome. There was also a fuckton of queer authors featured in this anthology which is always lit. So many of the stories were really really scary! My favorites were
➖Reckless Eyeballing - NK Jemison
➖Invasion of the Baby Snatchers - Lesley Nneka Arimah
➖Aesthete - Justin C Key
➖Flicker - LD Lewis
➖Grief of the Dead - Rion Amilcor Scott (insane)
➖A Bird Sings by the Etching Tree - Nicole D Sconiers (reminded me of the movie The Dark)
➖Your Happy Place - Terence Taylor (THE LAMP IS WRONG)
➖Origin Story - Tochi Onyebuchi (writing on this one was insane, reminded me kind of No One Dies Yet)”Diverse charactersBeautifully writtenFast-pacedDark settingDarkThought-provoking

“I only got this book because of Jordan Peele. However, most of these authors stories were not it. I skimmed through a lot so I’m not gonna rate those. 1. 0/5 writing was horrible 2. 4/5 3. 2.5/5 not horror, nice romantic story 4. 1/5 I was lost 5. 4/5 very engaging 6. 3/5 started using audiobook from here on out, these stories not what I expected, very boring. 7. 4.5/5 needs more details about creature 8. 3/5 creative futuristic setting but leads to so many more questions- how does everyone look? People popping up ? How? Why? 9. 3.5/5 seemed to prolong 10.3.5/5 needs better descriptions and background info. So from here on out I got really bored the writing style isn’t for me but I slowed down at the chapter “Hide N Seek” - 5/5 really good! Best story in the book!”

About Jordan Peele

His debut feature, Get Out, was released in 2017 to widespread acclaim, earning four Academy Award nominations, winning Best Original Screenplay for Peele. In 2019, Peele wrote, produced, and directed his second feature, Us, which instantly became a smash hit with audiences and critics alike, posting the largest box-office opening for an original horror movie ever. In the summer of 2022, Peele released his third feature, the sci-fi horror epic Nope, which also opened to number one at the box office.
