THE LAMENTATION OF THEIR WOMEN by Kai Ashante Wilson is not at all what I expected from the story's description. A young woman and her sometime lover find a couple of cursed objects at the apartment of her deceased Auntie. Touching the objects enlightens the two on their evil purpose. Soon after, they begin killing people and sending them to Hell. When they become too selective of who they kill, Satan makes his displeasure known.
I don't think the violence is bad enough to necessitate a warning, and, while some might feel there are political undertones, this is more or less two people who are angry and fed up, and the Fallen One twists the situation to his convenience.
I had trouble getting into the writing style, but something about the characters makes me wish this could be made into a movie.
As always,
