>American slavery period are brutal and feel hopeless.
My mother got me into African American authors so I know there are writers who look like me as a kid.
This is the entire point of her horror/thrillers.
Iike you could say the movie get out is an evolution of her brand of horror, except get out ended way nicer than what she would have wrote, because the point of her books is to make you feel something even if she has to have something out of left field be the vehicle.
My favorite Story she wrote is blood child. Sorry for my rant, but I get super excited about her stories getting love. She's been shadowed by the likes of Lovecraft imo.
