Great Collection

I loved all the stories in this book. Personal recommendations are Bras Coupe and Plaything because they deal with race relations and a societal issue that isn't discussed too much. Looking forward to reading the other installments.

Dark Dreams: A Collection of Horror and Suspense by Black Writers

I always try to support Black writers. I'm from the generation where there were few and far between on mainstream stories and zilch (until a few years ago), on sci-fi, horror and suspense. In this particular book, though, some of the stories are good, while others leave you wondering why the author even bothered. I'm not a writer and could have come up with better story lines than some I've read here. But I'm not going to let that stop me from buying and supporting my African-American writers.

Some Horror and Suspense.....Some Blah

I love a good horror story, and of course suspense is welcome, but I didn't get a whole lot of it in this book. Zane should never write horror, its not her cup of tea, I skipped around reading certain stories by names I knew and then tried to read the rest some of which I couldn't. He Who Takes The Pain, Hair Dreams, Wild Chcolate are a few of the good ones. But I was left hungry for more...like they just cut off at the good part. My favorites are Siren Song, If the Walls Could Talk, and of course Danger Word by Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due...and yes Brandon Massey's Grandad's Garage. some of the stories aren't really horror, but are worth reading.
