African-American Horror Author Book List
by The Undead Rat on February 3, 2010
This is the best African-American Horror Author Book List. Despite that, it is a work in progress. I’m sure there are more people out there writing horror who are of African American heritage than I have listed here.
If you know of anybody I’ve missed, please mention them in comments so I can add them in. In the meantime, this is the best place to start. If you want to participate in the spirit of the 2010 National African American Read-In but really want to read something scary, these are the authors that will get’cha.
