Publisher Description

13 SCARY STORIES. 13 AUTHORS OF COLOR. 13 TIMES WE SURVIVED... THE FIRST KILL.

The White Guy Dies First includes thirteen scary stories by all-star contributors and this time, the white guy dies first.

Killer clowns, a hungry hedge maze, and rich kids who got bored. Friendly cannibals, impossible slashers, and the dead who don’t stay dead....

A museum curator who despises “diasporic inaccuracies.” A sweet girl and her diary of happy thoughts. An old house that just wants friends forever....

These stories are filled with ancient terrors and modern villains, but go ahead, go into the basement, step onto the old plantation, and open the magician’s mystery box because this time, the white guy dies first.

“In this volume, thirteen authors explore the dimensions of fear, terror, and horror, along with the concept of identity (from the concept of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality) and how that often places people into the category of “other,” with a feeling of isolation and a lack of safety that causes a kind of existential terror in and of itself. The authors don’t hold back on the horror, scary imagery, disturbing subject matter, and gore while bucking the trend of choosing marginalized people to victimize first in horror stories. This volume is definitely one for older teens horror buffs, who love a good scare and aren’t traumatized by stories with visceral imagery and a pervasive sense of dread that will keep them on the edge of their seat, touching on practically all the different categories of horror you can think of. I'm kind of a wuss, so some of the stories were a lot for me, but they were all really well-written and had me on the edge of my seat. Overall Rating: 4.5/5.0 stars Reviewed for Affaire de Coeur Magazine. http://affairedecoeur.com Advanced Review Copy provided by Netgalley courtesy of Tor Teen.”
