Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories edited by one of my favorite horror directors, Jordan Peele. There were a number of stories here that I enjoyed (my rating is the average of my rating for each individual story). Here are my five favorites/most highly rated titles:

  1. Happy Place - 4.75
  2. Eye and Tooth - 4.5
  3. Flicker - 4.5
  4. The Other One - 4.25
  5. Dark Home - 4.25

These stories had me captivated during my morning walks and commutes, and I loved how this audiobook was performed by a full cast. There was only one story that I had to skip because I could not understand the narrator (I didn't include this title in my rating calculation). I'm so glad I listened to this anthology and I would love to continue to explore works by these authors or other horror anthologies in the future!
