Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams
dark
3.5
High highs and low lows. This collection was a really mixed bag. I felt like a lot of the stories were poorly suited to such a short story format: not enough detail in some cases for me to care about what was happening or an interesting hook that felt like with more space it would have been more rewarding. The experience of reading it also just felt like a slog with this many very short stories. I had read nine of them and wasn't even halfway through the book. Highlights for me were Dark Home by Nnedi Okorafor, Your Happy Place by Terence Taylor, and Hide and Seek by P. Djèlí Clarke.
