Coleman's Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from the 1890s to Present is, in of itself, a magnificent book: a highly studied and researched history of Black representation in horror movies that points out the (many, many, many, MANY) problems as well as the successes as well as the noted room for improvement. I am really happy that Coleman offered it to be (hopefully) a mainstay and pinnacle text for film studies. My only hangup about that book was its academic tone:necessary for its venue, but unfortunately limiting in its appeal. So how wonderful to see a followup, this time joining forces with BlackHorrorMovies.com pioneer Mark H. Harris, for this volume that offers all the magnificent research and insight that made Horror Noire a masterpiece and to bring it all (and more) out of the "horrid halls of academia" (thanks Faculty of Horror) and into another highly studied and researched history of Black representation in horror movies that is consistently funny, wise, horrifying, and full of love and a desire for better work from the genre. From segments on bad use of hip-hop in horror movies, to the treatise on queer representation, back to other whimsically serious segments like "10 Horror Movies About Race Relations Not Named Get Out," Coleman and Harris have yet another pinnacle tome on the problems and the progress made in a genre that is rich in social commentary, despite the plaintive screes of White gatekeeping bros waving tiny T-rex arms.
