C. D. White explores the foundations of Black Horror in American literature. From nonfiction horror rooted in surviving slavery to authors like Charles W. Chestnutt and contemporary author Tananrive Due, Black Horror is a genre where the monsters are human and they don't die easily. Also check out one of the FIRST all-black cast horror movies Ingagi, 1940. Thanks to @genesofhistory on Instagram.
