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.

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.

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.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

The facts are public knowledge: five people have been murdered. Each has died from a blow to the head. And the media-dubbed Prince Charming killer has left a “calling card” with each victim. A single thornless rose. But there’s another fact...one that the police haven’t made public. Something no one, except the killer and the police, should know. But Gabriel Donner does - and he can’t figure out why. All he knows is that he’s begun hearing voices, sleepwalking and dreaming vividly of the murders...as they happen.

Having no idea how many weeks have passed, she slowly realizes the horrifying truth: Ruthie has vanished. And with her, nearly all of civilization. Where once-lush hills carried cars and commerce, the roads today see only cannibalistic Beaters - people turned hungry for human flesh by a government experiment gone wrong.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

The African Immortals Series
Any additional comments?
On Tananarive DueBefore I read the African Immortals series, I picked up The Good House by an author I had never read or heard of before, Tananarive Due. I've read two of Octavia Butler's books and love her works, so when I saw something in my reading that Tananarive Due dedicated her books to Butler, I was eager to give it a try. I really LOVED The Good House and went straight to My Soul to Keep.Due is definitely one of my new favorite authors. The thing that I like the best is her way of creating central characters that are truly neither good nor bad. The bad guys have great traits and loyalties and the good guys do some really, really bad stuff.On the African Immortals SeriesShe's done an outstanding job at world building in the African Immortals. In this series, she's built some really complex discrimination and prejudices with the Immortals (who are mostly African and Middle Eastern) towards the mortals, calling them monkeys. I find myself stopping to think about how the immortals have lived so many lifetimes, knowing that the mortals they live with will die sooner or later, and consequently devaluing the mortals' lives significantly. They're going to die anyway, right? So if I kill a few, no big deal... And you find yourself reading along and really wanting to love Dawit, despite the fact that he's a cold killer just as an example. Due has such a wonderful opportunity to delve into some of the morality around these prejudices, flip flopping who has the power...and she uses the opportunity well.On My Soul to TakeI started this book apprehensively. The paperback I read wasn't too thick and I was sure that meant I was going to be disappointed at it ending too soon. It's not a cliffhanger ending and I really hope there's more to come, but if there's not, the story has been well told. Without including spoilers, I'll just say that every single character stumbles at some point in the book. Even the immortals, as close to gods as they are, are very human and fallible. They make tragic mistakes and some of them cause a great deal of pain for and disappointment by their loved ones.The other part of this book that I loved was how Tananarive Due describes the relationship and pairing of Fana and Michel.

Can't say enough good things about this book!
Utterly amazing! This author is brilliant. I'm new to this author but she is so underrated!!! I couldn't stop listening to this book! It's worth the price and you won't be disappointed. The narrator is perfect, the plot is superb. I am a Dean Koontz, Stephen King fan. But Tananarive Due's books surpass their best works! Please don't stop writing Ms. Due!!!!

Enjoyed book tremendously. Story kept me so interested I'd lose track of time. The narrator's voice was perfect for telling thd story. Looking forward to book 3.

A Greatly Imaginative Follow up!
One of my favorites but it’s true sometimes it sounds like the narrator is swallowing or something. This isn’t his fault. He’s a great narrator but the audio engineer should clean it up a bit. Still totally worth listening!

I looooved the story!
The swallowing..I felt like I was INSIDE the narrators mouth. Sometimes, he gulped so hard that it sounded like he was taking a drink(I HOPE that was the case) I won’t blame him tho because I’m sure he thought the engineers/production would filter it out. Had the STORY not had me in such a chokehold, I wouldn’t have finished it. I’m about to start Book Three sooo, hopefully it will be recorded better❤️

The narrator’s mouth noises!
Although the narrators voice is amazing his mouth noises are not! I cringed every time but the story was worth listening too!
