It's me again, Meredith Morgonstern, fiction editor at Tales to Terrify, back with another episode celebrating Women in Horror Month. Tales to Terrify is committed to highlighting the incredible

diversity within the horror community. Therefore, when we talk about women in horror, we mean

all women. Since it's not only women in horror, we mean all women.

this week I'd like to talk about horror specifically written by amazingly talented black women authors.

Full disclosure, I'm not black.

I can't talk about the black experience and horror from

personal experience, nor I think can any one person represent an entire group. What I can do

is highlight some of my favorite stories and books that happen to be written by very talented

and creative black women.
