Listen to Your Sister is a powerhouse of a speculative horror novel that is an ode to black women, specifically the eldest sisters. It's a terrifying and emotionally raw novel I related to on the deepest level.
Calla is the twenty-five-year-old parent to her youngest siblings, simultaneously bending over backward to make sure her brothers are taken care of and resenting being put in the situation that she has to raise her siblings. Struggling at every turn, overrun with nightmares, and in desperate need of assistance. It's about to all go downhill for her and her family.
