Out There Screaming is another of my favourite anthologies of 2023. 

It contains stories by popular Black authors and new writers, in a wonderful mix of subgenres. 

We have some historical horror, sci-fi, weird fiction, comedy, and one story written as a play. The stories are creepy and demanding of the reader, thoughtful and bizarre at times.

My personal favourites were: 

• Reckless Eyeballing by N.K. Jemisin
• Wandering Devil by Cadwell Turnbull
• The Other One by Violet Allen
• The Rider by Tananarive Due
• Flicker by L.D. Lewis
• Origin Story by Tochi Onyebuchi

Not every story was to my taste, but the standouts were wonderful and will stick with me a long time.
