Massey is one of my favorite horror/thriller/suspense writers and I finally got a chance to read this collection of stories. He has stepped out of the box and given known and unknown African American authors to show their work to the world. The contributing authors are: Zane, Robert Fleming, Chesya Burke, Kalamu ya Salaam, Joy M. Copeland, L.R. Giles, L.A. Banks, Ahmad Wright, Lawana Holland-Moore, Christopher Chambers, D.S. Foxx, Terence Taylor, Linda Addison, Rickey Windell George, Francine Lewis, Patricia E. Canterbury, Anthony Beal, B. Gordon Doyle, Steven Barnes and Tananrive Due. The stories spanned the spectrum of horror and suspense. There was something for everyoneerotica, vampires, ghosts, magic, fear, obsession and much more. I don't read many short stories but looked at this collection as a peek into what these authors can do. Looking for more stories by these authors and hoping for another anthology soon.
