A haunting presence plagues a woman's dreams in Hollywood, while a Kanontsistóntie is called upon to seek vengeance within the walls of a residential school, and a relocation from the projects to Manhattan brings ominous shadows. Meanwhile, two sisters stumble upon a hidden chamber on their farm, uncovering a malevolent force.

Originally published in Scotland, "When Other People Saw Us, They Saw the Dead" presents an anthology of unsettling narratives from contemporary BIPOC authors, blending Gothic horror, folklore, fantasy, and fairy tales to disturb, intrigue, and entertain. Death permeates the pages, intertwined with themes of home, memory, grief, belonging, gentrification, white supremacy, and colonization.

Edited by Lauren T. Davila, "They Saw the Dead" delves into the essence of true haunting experiences.
