If you tore through When No One Is Watching for its razor-sharp blend of neighborhood paranoia and systemic erasure, Jackal will sink its teeth in fast. Erin E. Adams trades Brooklyn brownstones for suffocating rural woods, but the dread is identical: that creeping certainty that something monstrous hides behind white picket fences and polite smiles, and no one will believe you until it's too late.
Here's a Black woman returning home to uncover what everyone's agreed to forget—missing girls, buried histories, and the kind of complicit silence that lets horrors fester. It's folklore meeting fury, and the tension never breaks.
This is the horror that doesn't flinch, and neither will you.
