Wearing the Enemy’s Face: Kelly McWilliams on American Nightmare

Wearing the Enemy’s Face: Kelly McWilliams on American Nightmare

Kelly McWilliams talks to Ginger Nuts of Horror about American Nightmare, her Black horror novel built from Walter F. White’s real history as a NAACP spy during the Red Summer of 1919. She explains why the book, unlike her debut Mirror Girls, refuses any monster a reader could kill, and how the Atlanta Race Riot and racial passing shaped its uncanny, rule-less dread.
