Reviews

With the emphasis on horror and the speculative in African American writing, this book is likely to join a growing body of work that examines traditional sites of horror/haunting. Reading like both poetry and theory, this book performs a Black feminist analysis of the 'haint' by exploring the gendered implications of the haint's appearance in Black poems and texts and as such, is an invaluable contribution to the growing field of critical work on the speculative/horror in Black writing.--Stefanie K. Dunning, author of Black to Nature: Pastoral Return and African American Culture and Queer in Black and White: Interraciality, Same Sex Desire, and Contemporary African American Culture
