This was my first time reading Masseys work. Possibly an additional hour of material could have woven in a bit more subtlety and character development. Nana By Brandon Massey Suspenseful, creepy, scary are all adjectives I used to describe Nana by Brandon Massey. Depending on taste it may well be a good buy for you but for me it didn't quite hit the mark.

Nana is Grace, who lands in the middle of Troy and Monica's lives as Monica's birth mother just as Monica is burying the adoptive mother that nurtured her as a child. It's narrated by Leon Nixon who does have a beautiful timbre to his voice and delivers a suitably chilling 'Nana'. Brandon Massey treats us to an African-American horror story that pulls few punches but somehow fails to land that killing blow.
