by Tananarive Due Ghost Summer is a collection of imaginative Horror stories. The introduction tells us that the author is a black woman activist, which in my opinion makes it a little more interesting. The stories are told in a casual, conversational tone, like someone telling a story round a c...
I had a wildly uneven experience with this book. It has some of the same problems that I have with most novels that try to tell two interconnected stories, one historical, one contemporary.

The Between is a story about a man on the verge of a breakdown. Is this breakdown caused by supernatural forces or is it all in his mind? Well, I’m not going to be jerk who spoils it all for you! I bought this book years and years ago and I’m glad The Ladies of Horror Fiction finally forced me to ...

I was going to read and finish this for Halloween Bingo 2016, but since this is a DNF, it doesn't count towards the bingo. I finally just gave up reading this after I realized that I didn't like either main characters, and the book pace was so slow, it was positively glacial.We find a man (or is he?...

Excellent short. The only thing that I don't like is it leaves me wanting more!! I wish this was a full novel and not just a short. I am definitely going to be looking for more of Tananarive Due's work. Maybe I can fit something else of hers into one of the Halloween Bingo squares. Another squa...
