Synopsis

From the haunted imagination of African American horror author Tracy Cross (Rootwork, A Gathering of Weapons) comes this dark and atmospheric collection that breathes new life into the monsters that have stalked our nightmares for generations. Blending folk horror, supernatural terror, and the quiet dread of everyday life, these eight unsettling stories examine the fears we inherit, the legends we reshape, and the histories that refuse to stay buried. Because some monsters don't die; they find new ways to come back. The collection includes the stories: "Mami Wata"; "Static"; "The Story of Bloody Mary, Taneisha's Version"; "The Case of the Wendigo"; "Seed"; "Mr. El'gant"; "Don't Go Down There"; and "Sinner Man Hand".
