One of the Most Timely Novels of the Year Is About Black Women in the 1880s Hunting Zombies

The world can be utterly bleak nowadays. A government that seems to actively hate health and science, an economy ruled by a handful of lying billionaires, and continued state-sanctioned violence against Black people have ushered in a modern dystopia.
