Out There Screaming

Brace yourself for a spine-chilling journey with this New York Times Bestseller.

Jordan Peele, the visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, Nope and Him, curates this anthology of new stories of Black horror. Exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but also the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our world.

'Will keep you awake at night and linger with you in the day' - Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under

Featuring an introduction by Jordan Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a masterclass 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. Very afraid . . .

Two freedom riders take a bus that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama, where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the watery depths in search of the demon that killed her parents. Monster-hunters fighting monsters, humanoid AIs fighting for their rights, and an Igbo woman standing up to a powerful spirit.

Featuring stories by: Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djelí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor and Cadwell Turnbull.
