Blacklisted


Yes, February is Black History Month, but here at Macabre Republic we are going to celebrate another type of "black" history.  By scanning my bookshelves, and searching the ol' memory banks, I've put together a list of genre characters, stories, and novels that include the word "black" in their names/titles (I'm excluding movies, because a post of that nature was published here a couple of years back).

Can you think of any others that I missed?  Feel free to amend the list by leaving a Comment below.
