Out Now! Unshod, Cackling, and Naked

We did it!

On January 26, 2023, Unnerving Books released my short story collection in paperback and e-book, and I am over the moon.

It debuted at #2 in Black and African American horror fiction on Amazon, and it has been a pleasure connecting with readers who have received their copies or are just ordering.

I’ve also gotten a kick out of the reviews. There is something special about readers and critics totally getting what you set out to do.

Publishers Weekly: This powerful collection of 13 intimate horror shorts from Thompson (Salamander Justice) derives its scares by pushing mundane Black experiences into unsettling territory. Several pieces dive into simultaneously validating and terrifying expressions of Black female rage…Readers of any background will find that these stark terrors hit close to home.

Booklist: This collection of short stories from Thompson (Salamander Justice, 2020) is thrilling and engrossing, with classic horror tropes and experimental new tactics and scares…Thanks to these exquisite stories, readers will look forward to a future library with a shelf full of Thompson's books.

Everlasting Hauntings: If you enjoy horror stories and would love to read some of the most thrilling, enjoyable, and coolest horror tales, then this collection is a must have in your library!

The Library Ladies: I found Thompson’s voice and storytelling to be unique and engaging…there is something for everyone in Unshod, Cackling, and Naked.
