Like Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place, Sidik Fofana’s electrifying collection of eight interconnected stories showcases the strengths, struggles, and hopes of one residential community in a powerful storytelling experience. Each short story follows a tenant in the Banneker Homes, a low-income high rise in Harlem where gentrification weighs on everyone’s mind. We root for these characters and more as they weave in and out of each other’s lives, endeavoring to escape from their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love.

Publisher's summary
RECOMMENDED BY GILLIAN FLYNN ON THE TODAY SHOW • A young Black girl goes missing in the woods outside her white rust belt town. But she's not the first—and she may not be the last. . . .
“I read this thriller that is Get Out meets The Vanishing Half in one night.”—BuzzFeed
“Extraordinary . . . A terrifying tale of fears and hatreds generated by racism and class inequality.”—Associated Press
EDGAR® AWARD FINALIST • BRAM STOKER® AWARD FINALIST • SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE • PHENOMENAL BOOK CLUB PICK
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Esquire, Vulture, PopSugar, Paste, Publishers Weekly • ONE OF COSMOPOLITAN’S BEST HORROR NOVELS OF ALL TIME
It’s watching.
Liz Rocher is coming home . . . reluctantly. As a Black woman, Liz doesn’t exactly have fond memories of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a predominantly white town. But her best friend is getting married, so she braces herself for a weekend of awkward, passive-aggressive reunions. Liz has grown, though; she can handle whatever awaits her. But on the night of the wedding, somewhere between dancing and dessert, the newlyweds’ daughter, Caroline, disappears—and the only thing left behind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood.
It’s taking.
As a frantic search begins, with the police combing the trees for Caroline, Liz is the only one who notices a pattern: A summer night. A missing girl. A party in the woods. She’s seen this before. Keisha Woodson, the only other Black girl in Liz’s high school, walked into the woods with a mysterious man and was later found with her chest cavity ripped open and her heart removed. Liz shudders at the thought that it could have been her, and now, with Caroline missing, it can’t be a coincidence. As Liz starts to dig through the town’s history, she uncovers a horrifying secret about the place she once called home. Children have been going missing in these woods for years. All of them Black. All of them girls.
It’s your turn.
With the evil in the forest creeping closer, Liz knows what she must do: find Caroline, or be entirely consumed by the darkness.
Critic reviews
“A heady, page-turning, all-too-relevant reinvention of the return-to-home horror story—truly gut-wrenching and frightening.”—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club
“Real horror surrounds us in plain sight, nestled in the hearts of fiends who hide behind the barest of masks. Erin E. Adams takes you on a breathless ride with Jackal, revealing the courage it takes to stand up to monsters.”—Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor and The Hunger
“A thrilling blend of detective story, turn-all-the-lights-on-in-your-house-while-reading horror, and social commentary about how often women of color, especially Black women, go missing and get little attention . . . It’s an impressive and thoughtful debut.”—Megan Giddings, author of The Women Could Fly

Story
Remember how many lies we told, Molly? It’s enough to make my head spin. You were wild when I met you, and I was mad for you. But then something happened. And now you’re gone. But don’t worry. I’ll find you. I just need to sift through the story of us to get to where you might be. I’ve got places to look and a list of names. The police have a list of names, too. See now? There’s another lie. There is only one person they’re really looking at, Molly. And that’s yours truly.

Grimms has nothing on this Tale!
Good mix of folklore, mystery, and horror in doses I could take. Not a horror fan, but this story offers much more that blood and gore. Anyone who has ever checked under their bed or felt followed will recall it with the author’s clarity of words! I say even if your not a horror fan this book could still be for you.

Good Story!
I personally enjoyed listening to this title. The ending was a little surprising. Consider reading this title if you seek a mystery in a small town. The last few chapters are pretty exciting guessing who did what.

Story is crazy!
Such a great story. The lead up to the climax kept me on my toes. So many little twists. I was guessing the whole story! I loved it!

Loved it!
This is ideal for a burgeoning YA reader who wants to get into thrillers. Also amazing for readers who can appreciate the historical relevancy of race, geographical location, and the layers of abuse that black women experience. Sandra Okuboyejo does an amazing job and I hope to listen to more of her narrations!

Great story
I really enjoyed this book. The mystery was wonderfully written and kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator was ok. Wish she could pronounce the creole words better. Lol. If you decide to listen to this book, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Try it.

Loved it
A “who done it?” without an obvious answer and so many spooky small town secrets. I loved this book. The story kept my attention and the performance was great.

Just ok
The narration was not good at all. Too cheesy for my taste. The story line was good. A little “out of left field” at the end. Not sure if it is typical for this author, as I haven’t read any of their other stuff. But it’s a very long build up to a quick weird end.

There’s no such thing as a perfect story
… but this one comes as close as a story gets! It’s not quite horror, it’s not quite thriller. There’s a deeper story hiding behind the eerie, atmospheric tension that makes this book hard to put down.
The book focuses on one woman’s experience, but uses her story to pain the picture of the state of this small town and the country in general by dabbling into themes of racism, trauma, prejudice, and the systemic racism built into the fabric of America.
Even the supernatural elements are founded in the meaning and importance of the constellations.

Thrilling, beautiful, and tragic
This story feels like both reality and myth combined. The tragic truths of life in America mixed with the tangled mystery and intrigue of the story drew me in and kept me on my toes the whole way through.
