Our new (as of Sept 29) masthead is from an article entitled, "7 Black Female Gothic Horror Authors You Should Be Dying To Know."

Mentioned are Linda D. Addison, author of The Place of Broken Things, a dark poetry collection; L. Marie Wood, author of many books, including Crescendo; Nalo Hopkinson, author of Midnight Robber and others; Dia Reeves, author of Slice of Cherry and more; author, poet, playwright, and activist, Jewelle Gomez, author of The Gilda Stories, along with many plays, poetry and other novels; Alexis Henderson, author of the dark fantasy and horror novel, The Year of the Witching; and author, musician and editor, Tenea D. Johnson, author of the short story collection, Broken Fevers, and more.

Are there other Black Women-authored spooky or gothic books or collections that you recommend? What's on your list for themed October reading?

I loved White Is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi. Really wanna read it again as well as more from her. And I'm curious about Nuzo Onoh ever since I heard about her on BBC.

I was just thinking of starting a thread to ask for recommendations for a starting point in this genre and here it it! It's not one I'm at all familiar with so any more recs are welcome!

Also, specifically for Oyeyemi: print or audio?
