Book Review: The Black Guy Dies First by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman & Mark H. Harris

Thank you Saga Press/ Gallery for my review copy.

My 💭:

If you’re a Black horror fan read this book.
If you’re Black read this book.
If you’re a horror fan read this book.

“Blackness isn’t monolithic, after all, and everyone deserves to have their stories told.”

All of this!!

This book really broke down the stereotypical roles Black actors receive in horror movies and that needs to change! Yes, We do have Jordan Peele, but he can’t be the only director to have Black people in non stereotypical roles.

Reading this book was very informative and had me laughing out loud as well. This book also put me on to films I never even heard of and I’m excited to check out Dr. Black & Mr. Hyde from the 70’s. Shoutout to Tubi for having this movie on their streaming service.

After reading this story whenever I see Charles S. Dutton, I will forever think of him as the Sacrificial Negro Extraordinaire. 🤣😩😭 I’m still weak at the way this broke this all the way down.
