When No One Is Watching, Alyssa Cole
If you like a bit of a thrill in your fiction, then Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching, will likely have you on the edge of your seat. This story explores the idea of gentrification as the perfection scenario for a horror to take place.
Sydney Green, the story’s protagonist watches sadly as her Brooklyn neighborhood becomes unrecognizable as neighbors leave, condos sprout up, and buildings go up for sale. While it may seem that these are just a sign of the times, a natural progression for city neighborhoods, it may be something more nefarious.
