About this listen
The New York Times Bestseller
Jordan Peele, the visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us and Nope, curates this anthology of brand new stories of Black horror. Exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but also the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our world.
'A glorious showcase of Black American horror' – The Guardian
Featuring an introduction written and read by Jordan Peele, a full cast of narrators accompanies the all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices. Out There Screaming is a masterclass in horror, and – like his spine-chilling films – its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world, and redefine what it means to be afraid. Very afraid . . .
Two freedom riders take a bus that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama, where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the watery depths in search of the demon that killed her parents. Monster-hunters fighting monsters, humanoid AIs fighting for their rights, and an Igbo woman standing up to a powerful spirit.
Featuring stories by: Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor and Cadwell Turnbull.
'A brilliant anthology of stories that will keep you awake at night and linger with you in the day. I loved it.' – Daisy Johnson
Winner of the 2024 Locus Award for Best Anthology.

Black Horror remains the truest mirror
This collection is superb. Some of the stories had my jaw on the floor with the creativity and the simplicity. I am not normally a fan of short stories but I’m glad I took a chance on this one.

Every story is great. Some of them are stunning
Jordan Peele continues his mission to amplify black writers across all media. And here he, and each of the writers, and every single narrator, does an amazing job. Probably the best short-story collection I've ever read/listened to.

Thought provoking collection.
This collection is perfect if you are looking to discover more black authors. There is a good mix of styles and genre bending stories but all with an underlying horror that is based on real every day fears.

A horror anthology that makes you think
4.25* (edging to 4.5*)
A very mixed set of stories - genre/tropes, subject matter, and in a couple of cases, quality.
This isn't a pure horror collection, there's elements of scifi in some stories as well.
Notable standouts for me include Dark Home, The Rider, Flicker, Hide & Seek, The Most Strogest Obeah Woman of the World, and The Norwood Trouble.
Definitely read Jordan Peele's editors note as that captures the essence of what ties this collection together.

Excellent collection of Horror Stories
This anthology would be a great introduction to many different types of horror; cosmic, body horror, aliens, tech horror, dystopian etc.
I loved most of the stories in this collection & only a few fell a little flat. Exposed me to a lot of authors I hadn't read from or heard of before! audiobook narration was fantastic, a diff narrator for each story made them feel all very unique! highly recommend!

Not horror!
This is not horror, it's not scary, horrific or terrifying. Writers and editors ignored the remit to write horror and served up bland, boring, uninteresting tales. Waste of a credit!
