Slay: Stories of the Vampire Noire
Edited by Nicole Givens Kurtz

Mocha Memoirs Press is proud to present SLAY: Stories of the Vampire Noire—a revolutionary anthology celebrating vampires of the African Diaspora. SLAY is a groundbreaking, unique collection and will be a must-have for vampire lovers all over the world. SLAY aims to be the first anthology of its kind.

Few creatures in contemporary horror are as compelling as the vampire, who manages to captivate us in a simultaneous state of fear and desire. Drawing from a variety of cultural and mythological backgrounds, SLAY dares to imagine a world of horror and wonder where Black protagonists take center stage—as vampires, as hunters, as heroes. From immortal African deities to resistance fighters; matriarchal vampire broods to monster-hunting fathers; coming-of-age stories to end-of-life stories, SLAY is a groundbreaking Afrocentric vampire anthology celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the African Diaspora.

Featuring anchor stories by award-winning authors: Lynette S. Hoag, Sheree Renee Thomas, Milton Davis, Jessica Cage, Michele Tracy Berger, Alicia McCalla, Jeff Carroll, and Steven Van Patten.
