Greedy Reader
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.
Thoughtful and bone chilling!
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.
Next, the entree...
I have been a long time fan of Steven King, Dean Koontz and Peter Straub, but being African-American, I could never really find myself in the heart of the story. I have often felt separated from their paranormal world. This is not a bad thing, it just is. Massey, Banks and Due have come together brilliantly in the tasty appetizer The Ancestors and finally there I am. For those who have never read Massey, Banks or Due The Ancestors is the perfect first course.
