Product Description
Product Description
A collection of short stories from three talented authors exploring ghosts and hauntings by drawing upon African and African-American ancestral myths and beliefs. In Brandon Massey's ""The Patriarch"" a young writer travels to the hushed backwoods of Mississippi, where dangerous secrets surface. In L.A. Banks' ""Ev'ry Shut Eye Ain't Sleep"" a man is haunted by violent visions - until he is given the chance to right the wrongs of the past. Finally, in Due's ""Ghost Summer"", ancestors haunt the nights of two children - making a mark on both the dead and the living.

Thoughtful and bone chilling!
24 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
I loved this book, I am already an avid fan of LA Banks & Tananarive Due and read almost everything they write. I have recently begun reading selections by Brandon Massey. These three writer epitomize the Black experience in this book with their influences of African American folk beliefs. Plus, they were damn good stories. I appreciate a good sci fi/fantasy/horror story that doesn't insult my intelligence and makes me want to do research on folk religions & past beliefs.

Greedy Reader

Format:Paperback
I enjoyed all three stories in the book and found myself wishing each story was a novel on its own. I would ask each author to please expand on these stories.
I know I am not giving anything away when I say that one of the lines in Brandon Massey's story had me on the floor laughing. The line goes, "I prefer my poster pedic."
Give these stories a try, you will be glad you did.

Couldn't put it down!
15 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
I learned of this book by searching for something by one of my favorite authors, Tananarive Due. I had never been exposed to L.A. Banks or Brandon Massey. This book was incredible! I loved all 3 stories and in the process I found 2 new authors (Banks & Massey). I can't wait to read their other books.
