Recs if you like The Icarus Girl...
Black Horror
horror fiction from Black authors featuring Black characters
postcolonial magical realism
myth and folklore woven into reality to explore the legacies of colonialism: displacement, cultural erasure, trauma, the question of identity, and resistance. these books revolt against the idea of a single, rational, western worldview, reclaiming indigenous beliefs and knowledge systems as valid forms of truth.
after all, what looks like "magic" may simply be reality seen through other eyes.
recs always welcome :)
