Historia
When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, ever youthful. Yet she still feels something about him is just out of reach. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never die, a secret he must protect at any cost.

Historia
The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Historia
This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

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.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Reseñas editoriales
Traveling back and forth in time, the listener is sucked up into every moment as the story reaches its thrilling climax. Miles captures and makes the most of each moment of terror and suspense like a guide who tells you only as much as you need to know. She also shows great skill as her voice switches from male to female, elderly Haitian woman to small-town Sheriff.
Overall, a story that would make any person squirm, but so engrossing you just can't help but listen.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Due handles the potentially unwieldy elements of her novel with confidence, cross-cutting smoothly from past to present, introducing revelatory facts that alter the interpretation of earlier scenes and interjecting powerfully orchestrated moments of supernatural horror that sustain the tale's momentum....[Due is] a writer who grows better with each book." (Publishers Weekly)
Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Historia
No one knows where the Tufa came from or how they ended up in the mountains of east Tennessee. When the first Europeans came to the Smoky Mountains, the Tufa were already there. Dark-haired and enigmatic, they live quietly in the hills and valleys of Cloud County, their origins lost to history. But there are clues in their music, hidden in the songs they have passed down for generations.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

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.

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. From prison guards making unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic.

Not scary, but absorbing. Narration not the best.
I didn't find this book scary per se, but still quite enjoyable and absorbing. The plot was definitely original and was what kept me interested in the story. The author seemed to make a great effort to make her protagonists seem like real, flawed individuals. The end effect, however, was that I simply didn't get to where I cared very much about them.
The narrator did a beautiful job with the creole/haitian accent (altho a bit hard to understand), and a good job as the main character. However I found her characterizations of the townspeople to be grating and distracting.

Reviews read before the book
Prior to purchasing this book, I read many reviews ... the primary responses that I found were either praise or folks talking about "too much detail", "having to skip forward to get past the point". I am very dyslexic, have little comprehension of the "Written" word and managed to make it through the 8th year of school (almost 60 years ago) before being told that I was uneducable, should quit school and become a street cleaner or go to work in the mines with no hope of a higher asperation of life. I only took the first piece of advice and quit school. When "Audible" books first came available on phonograph records, then tapes, cassettes, and finally through Bluetooth applications, I opened the doors to the library with great exhilaration. I tell you this because of the great diversity of the reviews that I read. If I go back 15, 20 or even 30 years ago and I reread a majority of the books that I enjoyed at that point in my life, I find it very hard to understand what kept me motivated or how I stayed tuned to the simple lyrics, dialog, wording, phrases and mostly the lack of supporting detail by writers that were supposed to be very good. So for anyone considering this book, I would recommend that you take a serious look at your level of understanding of story telling prior to making comment. If you are eager for quick endings, fast solutions (believable or not), I would suggest you go back to look for a simpler format until your reading capacity grows to where you can enjoy a well told story, detailed scenery, a good overall plot with a predictably, unpredictable ending. This book is an excellent example of a well paced, descriptive, modern horror story … it is for a maturing reader looking for a good step forward toward the best and should not have a single word fast forwarded past. A well spent credit / coin for a good story. The reading is above reproach and exhibits amazing talent in taking the book all the way to the winner's circle. I still cannot read script, still have the comprehension of a American 5th grader (if I read), but I so love a good story told by a professional story teller ... part of my Irish heritage I recon.

The Good House is a Good Story
I purchased this book awhile ago solely based on the author who I love and the price. It was on sale for $9.00. But it sat on my bookshelf a long while. Maybe a year? Well that is not the important part of this review. I started reading this mega paperback book (496 pages) and I could not move very fast. *whisper* It was my fear of big books. (Something about them seem so daunting and I just stop.) So this time I purchased the audiobook from Audible.com to help me out.
Now on to the review....
I had no idea what to except from this story. I didn't know how scary Tananarive Due was as a scary book writer (a la Stephen King) or if she was scary at all. But I have to say... she got me a few times. I mean, like, turn the audiobook off and turn on some happy music.
Angela is a mover and shaker as the managing rep for a big name actress. She is a jet setting African American mom who's teenage son Corey lives with his father in Oakland. Every year she stops and meets with her son at her grandmothers old house for some quality time. "The Good House" and it's former owner (Grandma Marie) were know by everyone in the community as healers and helpers.
Tananarive Due really excels when she is setting up the story with the history of the characters. I seem to come across writers that bore you to death with too much back story that you completely forget what the story is about. In "The Good House" the author intermingles the past with the present in a nice steady stream.
I am not going to tell you much about the story because it would be filled with spoilers but just know there are a few twist and turns that you won't see coming. AT ALL! As I was reading I thought I knew what was going to happen, but then I was shocked to find out they did happen but not the way I thought they would.
Toward the end of the audiobook, I could not stop listening because I was so hooked and invested in the characters and their next moves. It took me no time to complete this 21 hour audiobook.
So I bet you are wondering why I gave it 4 out 5 stars. Well, I felt toward the end the author just stopped producing fresh ideas and just stopped. It was just finished. Done! Without giving anything away I just was not happy with the last chapter. It was like the "Who shot JR?" moment and I felt let down that something more creative wasn't the conclusion of this epic novel. I mean after ALL of that action and emotions. *sigh*
As for the narrator Robin Miles, she is great. She has the perfect non-reader but actor voice that I love. She read all the parts and made me completely forget there was only one person reading as I got deeper into the book. I don't think anyone else could have pulled off that creole voice and a teenage boy voice in the same book like she did. Excellent job!

Due Does it again!
I have been a fan of Due since her first book, and this one does not disappoint. I continue to be impressed with her character development and storytelling. It was an awesome listen, and the narrator was wonderful. This is by far the best audiobook I've ever downloaded thus far. Kudos Tananarive!

Engrossing story with very little scare
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would only recommend this book to a friend if they were looking for a mystery/romance, not a horror book. Any moments that even started to get freightening immediately backed off and left the reader feeling dissatisfied. I kept hoping it would build to something more terrifying and then it would just quit.

Surprise for me!
Surprised me and pleased me! Great read! Takes you through the story from the past to the present with great skill and planing, but not so much as to slow down the action. This writer has it together! Keeps you guessing!

A lot of rambling
This book had a very engaging story, and I was fully invested in hearing how it ended. However, there were a lot of turns, twists, and extra dialogue that caused the story to drag at times. I listened to the end, and I’m still unsure what actually happened in the final battle.

Turned into a romance novel.
I loved the narrator. The story had possibilities but it morphed into a predictable romance story. Which is great If that’s what you like, I was hoping for something less common .

So good! Gripping, intriguing, suspenseful.
This author works magic with her writing. I was invested in the characters within the first few minutes. The tale of suspense, family history, spirituality, racism, love-all come alive while listening. I highly recommend it.

Such a good story
I will definitely listen to Robin read Tananarive Drive's book a few more times. Each time I listen to this adventurous story I catch something I missed. Feels like I see the characters come to life.
