Dawn Cutler-Tran's Reviews > The Black Girl Survives in This One

Overall, I would say the anthology was good - with lots of different rep, and a large array of topics and storylines. My biggest complaint is that it’s called a horror anthology and truly only one or two of the stories were truly horror. There was a lot of suspense, some thrillers and I enjoyed a lot of them - but know going in you’re not going to get horror.
