Nestled between Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Salix Pointe is not a place that many people know of. Part of the Golden Isles of Georgia, all the weeping willows that grow there have led the surrounding town’s folk to call it the Island of Death. Elisa and Tasmin may not want to put too much stock into the folklore of Salix Pointe, but there is a reason that the universe has brought the two women together.

Story
American Book Award-winning author Tananarive Due's second collection of stories ranges from horror to science fiction to suspense. From the mysterious, magical town of Gracetown to the aftermath of a pandemic to the reaches of the far future, Due's stories all share a sense of dread and fear balanced with heart and hope. In some of these stories, the monster is racism itself; others address the monster within, or other universal struggles set against the supernatural or surreal. All of them are written with Due's trademark attention to detail and deep characterization.

Story
Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.

Critic reviews
A Most Anticipated Book (BookPage, Goodreads, School Library Journal, and more!)
“Defying the genre’s preference for centering white heroines, this collection features Black girls who are fighters and survivors, breakers of generational curses and slayers of evil. . . .This collection provides much-needed representation of Black girls who refuse to be martyrs, sassy sidekicks, or casualties on the path to a white character’s inevitable triumph. An engaging volume that breathes necessary life into the horror genre, showcasing the best of what goes bump in the night.”—Kirkus (starred review)
“Unforgettable…Using authentic voices to detail Black experiences through a horror lens, debut creator Evans and Fennell (Wild Tongues Can’t Be Tamed) aim to ensure that Black girls survive their gruesome respective situations via a stellar lineup of 15 Black writers… Through vivid dialogue and descriptions of ancestral practices like hoodoo, Black culture remains at the forefront of each story.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Modern horror audiences are lucky to witness all the fresh, exciting ways in which the genre continues to evolve, and The Black Girl Survives in This One promises to push the Final Girl trope toward new horizons that will thrill and terrify readers.”—BookPage

Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family's property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can't really live, either.

Story
Rory is an antihero for the ages. Like Shakespeare’s Richard III, she confides in her audience, telling us exactly the lengths she’ll go to to secure the leading role in Bosworth Academy’s senior musical, confessing without shame that she is charming and conniving and brutally ambitious, that we will watch and root for her even as she manipulates and endangers those around her. And we do. Perhaps it’s because we don’t want to believe that she’s as relentless as she claims. Rory is an underdog, after all, a scholarship kid teased for her weight. Surely there will be redemption?

Black Final Girls get their stories front and cent
While I'm not a huge horror fans, I tend to watched horror films/shows that captivated me, especially ones starting black leads. Ever since Jordan Peele's Get Out debut, there had been an era of black horror where black people get to tell their stories and be be the stars of them instead of the black best friend or the black person who died first in the horror films. And if you're a fan of the final girl trope , but always tired of mostly white girls being depicted within the popular horror trope, then this is the book for you. As soon as I stumble upon this book, days before it was debut, I preorder it immediately buying an extra credit after already using my monthly audible credit. And it was worth it.
Black girl representation had still a long way to go within all genres, but to this book was everything I could have ever wanted. This anthology series contains 15 short stories and each one center black girls or women, which unfortunately doesn't happen often. Despite the stories being shorts, everyone felt like I was listening to a full length novel with characters, lore, and settings I want to explore more of. Some have twists I was not expected that make you appreciate the story (and the title of it) more. And even though the title of the whole book spoiled that every protagonist in each story was going to survive, it was how they did it that you wanted to know.
My favorite stories from the collection are the following:
Harvesters by L.L. McKinney
The Brides of Devil's Bayou by Desiree S Evans
Black Pride by Justina Ireland
The Screamers by Daka Hermon
Inheritance by Camara Aaron
Black Girl Nature Group by Maika & Maritza Moulite
The Black Strings by Vincent Tirado
Local Color by Eden Royce
While some stories may not be your favorite, there are plenty of others for your to choose from. If you're a fan of horror, especially black horror and black final girls, then this collection of short stories is for you. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
