History becomes a haunting experience in Patricia C. McKissack’s spooky collection of African-American chillers. Set in the deep American South, The Dark Thirty includes 10 stories rooted in the times of slavery and up to modern day. Well-known illustrator Brian Pinkney has created dramatic and shadowy black and white pictures to bring out the mystery and titillation of this multiple award-winning anthology. These thrillers are a fantastic introduction to more focused issues in African-American history. | The Dark-thirty by Patricia Mckissack, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
