Acerca de esta escucha
Whether weaving family life and history into dark fiction or writing speculative Afrofuturism, American Book Award winner and Essence best-selling author Tananarive Due’s work is both riveting and enlightening. In her debut collection of short fiction, Due takes us to Gracetown, a small Florida town that has both literal and figurative ghost; into future scenarios that seem all too real; and provides empathetic portraits of those whose lives are touched by otherness. Featuring an award-winning novella and 15 stories, Ghost Summer: Stories is sure to both haunt and delight.

Historia
American Book Award-winning author Tananarive Due's second collection of stories ranges from horror to science fiction to suspense. From the mysterious, magical town of Gracetown to the aftermath of a pandemic to the reaches of the far future, Due's stories all share a sense of dread and fear balanced with heart and hope. In some of these stories, the monster is racism itself; others address the monster within, or other universal struggles set against the supernatural or surreal. All of them are written with Due's trademark attention to detail and deep characterization.

Historia
When Hilton was a boy, his grandmother sacrificed her life to save him from drowning. Thirty years later, he begins to suspect that he was never meant to survive that accident, and that dark forces are working to rectify that mistake. When Hilton's wife, the only elected African-American judge in Dade County, Florida, begins to receive racist hate mail from a man she once prosecuted, Hilton becomes obsessed with protecting his family. The demons lurking outside are matched by his internal terrors - macabre nightmares, more intense and disturbing than any he has ever experienced.

Miriam and Craig are both artists and their four children carry on the legacy. When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course. Like the 10 Biblical plagues, they are hit by one catastrophe after another: violence, evictions, arrests, a suicide attempt, a near-drowning - even cancer and a brain tumor - play against the backdrop of a wild teenage bacchanal.

Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....

Perfect spooky season listening
-feels like a grown up version of Goosebumps, short stories about random potential horrors. There’s ghosts, voodoo, zombies, cloning, plagues. Some stories are more heavy than others.
-very fun spooky season read! The first section Gracetown wasn’t my fav, but everything after that was like 5 stars.
-the author gives you a little back story behind each chapter. It’s really cool peeking into someone’s mind and getting an idea of how their imagination works.
This was also free for me to listen to on Audible, so this was an awesome find!

I didn't think I would like it but did
I love Tananarive Due books. I bought and downloaded it as soon as I saw her name. I didn't realize it was short stories until the first one ended as it was an audible book. Damn, I said. I kept listening each time hurt that the stories didn't continue. I was very thankful for carrier series though. All the stories are very good just horribly short 😭.

Haunting and Beautiful
The fifteen stories collected in Ghost Summer are some of the most engaging short stories I've had the pleasure of reading. That pleasure was in no small part because these stories often provide a vastly different perspective from much of the horror and speculative fiction on the market, informed by the author's experiences as a black woman, both socially conscious and attuned to history. It's a perspective and worldview that readers should actively seek out because Tananarive Due successfully displays both the ways we are all the same and the stark differences that haunt many people to this day.
There's nothing not to love in this collection, but it's the Gracetown stories kicking everything off that stuck with me the most. This strange, haunted place in northern Florida arrests the reader just as it seems to capture residents and visitors, sometimes in horrifying ways. Gracetown is a place of transformation and possession. It's a town where the ghosts of a torturous, hateful past reveal uncomfortable truths.
Due provides us with glimpses of the past, of places where myth and legend overlap with the real world, where cultures collide with sometimes beautiful but often horrific results. We experience sadness and loss, sickness, and terror as the author paints all-too-real portraits of people, from those struggling to escape their circumstances to those hoping to find the peaceful embrace of death.
It isn't all about the past or present, as she also takes us to the end of the world, displaying a keen understanding of human nature that proved almost prescient when compared to the pandemic conditions that ushered us into the current decade.
Narration provided by Tananarive Due herself, as well as Robin Miles and Janina Edwards makes for a different experience from story to story, each individual breathing life into the narratives in slightly different ways, but never in an unsatisfactory manner.

More Emotional Than Expected
This collection of stories is truly fabulous. Each has either a tint of, or full-on submersion in the supernatural, as well as a depth of emotion running throughout. The characters feel immediately real and distinctly human. I’m so impressed with Tananarive Due’s unique ability to weave into her anthology a cultural and historical perspective that adds an extra layer of satisfaction for the reader.
It was such a treat getting a little nugget of background information from the author at the end of each story! And the sublime love letter of an Afterword written by Tananarive’s husband, Steven Barnes: just beautiful.
I enjoyed the narrators very much. Each one seemed to capture the tone and energy of a variety of characters - female and male of all ages. It’s nice when the author is a good and impactful narrator since the words belong to them.

liked most but not all
1st time hearing about this author and decided to give her a listen. I wasn't disappointed but I am not a fan of all of the stories. Also, most were read by her and it sounded a little monotonous but overall, a 4.5 of 5 because those that did captivate me were phenomenal.

Connections
These are very captivating stories. The best part to me was hearing how the stories came about and how they connected to or inspired by a part of her real life. Such an amazing imagination. Tananarive really takes the ‘what if’ question to heart and then allows it to explode on her pages.

I loved these stories.
They are so evocative of anyone’s life experience, regardless of culture, yet so interesting to hear them from one culture’s point of view. The slaves escaping story, admittedly, made me lose sleep, as whenever I am made to think about the cruelty of humans when they happen to be the ones in charge. WHY? I can never fathom why people get pleasure from being cruel to other humans, but it still goes on, including in our armed services, who are brainwashed into thinking of the “enemy”as inhuman. If they weren’t, they could never torture or kill them, just as with the African slaves. When will men evolve? Will they ever? The Day The Earth Stood Still remains one of my favourite stories in that our race, the human race, is being policed for its violence and will be destroyed if it does not learn that we ARE ALL ONE RACE and we need to learn to be kind to each other or be destroyed. Men cannot be taught to be kind. They can only die and, hopefully, leave more enlightened people in their wake. But, if you’ve ever seen Idiocracy, you know that the most enlightened are not the most prolific pro-generators and those who proliferate are those who kneel on a human being’s neck until he is dead. I really have no hope. Sorry for the rant, but so much injustice is really upsetting to me. I loved the stories anyway. What is a story if not evocative?
