I really enjoyed the history aspect of this one in particular, the authors delved into all kinds of films and I learned a lot about the history of Black characters and tropes in horror cinema. The audio narrator is great, but I recommend checking out a physical or ebook copy along with it, because there are a lot of charts, but also references to movie posters that are worth seeing! This definitely reads academic (see that PhD?) and there are some cheesy jokes in there to try to break it up, but I don't think it's unapproachable, especially if you're a horror fan. My only beef in terms of the writing is that it's rarely focusing on a particular film, so it references some films over and over as answers or exemplars of different eras or tropes.
