Hell Hath No Sorrow like a Woman Haunted

Hell Hath No Sorrow like a Woman Haunted

The Black women in these tales are women we all know. The mothers, wives, business owners, creatives, and more, that we see in everyday life. They perform the impossible and hold all ends together. Sometimes, they're an open book, their stories written in the beloved lines of their faces and the varied bodies they wear with pride or weariness. Other times, their secrets squirm beneath the surface, aching for release and discovery while beckoning others to lean in. They whisper the horror of their predicaments, closer to home than you realize. These Black women are more than we know. They're also victims, monsters...and often, a little of both. "A look across the room that tells you you're not alone in your Otherness. A caress from a blade. A book full of stories to make you feel profoundly unsettled. Hell Hath No Sorrow like a Woman Haunted is a superb collection that mixes smart, complex narratives about who we are with fast, bloody hardcore horror. Don't miss it." - Gabino Iglesias, The Devil Takes You Home Rhonda Jackson Garcia, AKA RJ Joseph, is a Stoker Award(TM) nominated, Texas based academic and creative writer/professor whose writing regularly focuses on the intersections of gender and race in the horror and romance genres and popular culture.
