A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class 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.

Audible: The 13 best debuts of 2022
Equal parts horror story and searing social commentary about race, Erin E. Adams’s Jackal follows Liz Rocher’s search for her missing goddaughter in her largely white Rust Belt hometown, where young Black girls have been disappearing for years. Tender and measured, the narrators poignantly capture the complex emotions in this story, effectively creating a sense of foreboding as Liz works to reconcile memories of the night her high school classmate also went missing. This listen thrills us with the dark, unforgettable truth that, even in a world where supernatural threats exist, monsters still wear human faces. —M.H.

Booklist December 2022 starred reviews
"Sandra Okuboyejo expertly commands the bulk of the narration as protagonist Liz Rocher.... Chameleonic Okuboyejo never disappoints, especially possessed by desperate, searching, mourning mothers; she elevates Adams’ savvy thriller with eerie aural excellence."

In a future that echoes a dystopian past, the once-thriving Jackmann and Sinclair kingdoms stood apart. A treaty aimed to unite them, fostering economic ties, kinship, and protection.

Now, ten years later, the tale unfolds through the eyes of Halona Jackmann, the courageous Queen of the seas and daughter of the fallen King. Amidst her journey, her encounter with Ophelia, (a past love,now hardened), threatens to disrupt everything. The Jackmann’s set sail to restore what was unjustly taken.But can the scales of justice ever truly balance without exacting a toll?
With profound depth and spiritual grace, the resplendent new musical HALONA & OPHELIA weaves a tapestry of intricate emotions-love and hatred, entwined in a timeless dance; community bound by shared destiny; the pursuit of justice and the enigmatic forces of fate.

Book/Director
Single mother, Rose Dawson, recently lost her 10 year old daughter Delilah to a school shooting. While navigating the shores of grief, she embarks on a political journey to mandate bullet proof glass be installed in schools. As complications surface, Rose is confronted with her own limitations, as she comes across a community that soon shows her the power of being held. In Save The Pieces we are faced with the question: in what ways do we keep the ones we've lost, alive?
'Save the pieces' was Sandra's first original piece to receive a fully staged production. It was written and conceived as a response to the Sandy Hook tragedy. Its proceeds went towards the Sandy Hook Memorial Fund in 2013.
