SO AMAZING, fantastic rec

About the most tone-deaf comment I've seen. Seriously.

I won't

No, pendejos. Qué cagazón.

No.

I get uncomfy when not white

Oh, I didn’t realize you were a parody site, very cool

The movie can't exist in any other way than as a gateway to a book by a white author?

NO

BOOOOOOOOOO

I like "Fevre Dream" but recommending it like this ain't it, chief.

After you watch Sinners, you should take a quick moment to never look at Polygon again, in case whatever they have is contagious.

Like clockwork. Anything for, by and about us, must be pushed to the side to center them; then they ask, “Why do you have to make everything about race?”

OR hear me out here! You could shut the hell up! You must have worms in your brain. Now I hope no one reads it.

George RR Martin 🤢🤮

What kind of article is this? Polygon, I used to like what you had to say. This is changing my mind

The comments are not on your side.

I just said the other day I can't buy another book and here I am about to buy these books! 📌

Polygon out here saying “all lives matter” ewww

GRRM is a sad little man who can't even find a way to finish his epic about Ice and Fire. So until he does, take time to encourage reading of better authors.

WTH. You’re using the success of Sinners to promote a totally unrelated author. Why? Why do that? And then the use of Black Success to prop up an already successful White Dude? Was this on purpose? WTH are you even doing?

How embarrassing for you

You should have picked a black author instead

"Captain, we're being hailed by some bullshit"

Or, Polygon, you could have just…not tried that. Shame on you.

And then her Wildseed series which is pretty Vampire adjacent and so so good.

Oh good call! I came to suggest watching Sugar Hill or Ganja and Hess

Yall suck

OR read the excellent “My Soul to Keep” by Black horror author @tananarivedue.bsky.social

Should've deleted this as soon as it was put online... 🤦‍♂️ The fuck were you thinking? 🤦‍♂️

"Austen Goslin" that says it all

IKYFL 🤬

Tell us this is AI generated slop without telling us this is AI generated slop.

In what universe did anyone think recommending a book by a white man in reference to Sinners was a good idea?

Uh... you can suck eggs polygon. No wonder I ignore you

If what this commenter said is true, Austen Goslin you a bitch for recommending this

Sorry, had to.

The Gilda Stories, Jewell Gomez or Granger's books, the Drew Collins University trilogy, Immortal Dark....the way this could have been a reading guide for Black Vampirism in fiction

Cracker ass

I haven't even seen Sinners yet and I know this take is not it! Y'all might wanna exit stage left ⬅️

I get what you mean and I believe you meant no offense in this very "innocent in the surface" post. Yeah, "Sinners" and "Fevre Dream" are in the same ballpark, but I do encourage you guys to try to understand where the dislike about this post is coming from and learn from it as journalists.

This is still up lolol

This is like, genuinely, almost report worthy for how egregious this is

W h a t

I think I'm just going to watch Castlevania Nocturne again 😆

In typical polygon fashion, redirect people to white creators and content when referencing black excellence

nah.

HOLLERING

Say dawg... Y'all getting cooked in the QS

“No, this article’s author isn’t black. How did you know?” Good God.

Lol, why? Because they both have vampires? I read tfa, sounds like grrm ran across some World of Darkness source books, true blood season 1, and interview with a vampire. Truly groundbreaking to the point you'd wanna write this article. Ffs. Maybe just say Coogler made a dope film?

“Sorrowland” by Rivers Solomon (really anything by them, but this one is specifically horror). I’d also recommend Stephen Graham Jones’ “Only Good Indians” if you want more Indigenous horror too

The Trees by Percival Everett. No vampires but very supernatural. Go into the book blind. Also takes place in small town Mississippi.

I don't think the people at polygon were prepared for this response

Omg I love her!!! I'm a sucker for women doing video essays on YouTube!! Her and Shanspeare are SOOOOO goooood!!!

How about Fledgling by Octavia Butler? Any other vampire project by a Black author? Seems obvious.

This is why no one likes you

Did he finish it?

You can still delete this

ANYWAY IF YOU LOVE SINNERS HERE'S 18 BLACK BOOKS WITH SIMILAR THEMES fabulizemag.com/18-black-boo...

Bitter Root by David Walker! So many books and movies to choose from and you go with… just sigh and predictable

Nah, dive into a Dark Urban Mythology Series Judgment Day. george r.r. martin has enough eyes on it. Get some eyes on Black creators. Afronostudio.com

This is so embarrassing but I don’t feel bad for y’all.

Having seen -- and UNDERSTOOD -- "Sinners" beyond the most basic take ("vampires!")? This would be the LAST THING I'd ever do. As IF. #GTEFOH

Polygon, can you not be a disappointment just this once

Happy to see so Many calling out using this movie to promote an old white man….

o que é que o cu tem haver com as calças?

Man what the fuck, polygon

Just no.

I just went online, typed "vampire stories by black authors" You should try this! You know what came up? The fact that WashPo wrote the article you should have. That's embarrassing. For you. George RR Martin will also come for you over this, you realise that? www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...

So, after seeing a powerful showing by black men, you promote a rich old white guy.

This is gross and racist, and you should delete it.

Oh my dude no

This ratio 😂 3 reposts 273 quotes

How’s this instead? If it makes you feel any better, David Greenwalt, an executive producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer called this the “American Game of Thrones.” Can’t wait to be interviewed by y’all so I can tell you all about it. tinyurl.com/yck6t594

yeahhhhh I don't fekkin' think so.

This is like burning cold cereal. Why did you post this...

The whole team really thought it was a good idea to hit 'send' on this, huh? 😬

Good lord, what an exquisitely bad take.

Are you fucking kidding me right now? "Hey, after you watch this unapologetically black horror film, why not check out one of the few stories this white guy managed to finish?" FFS.

📌

All this book talk but you can’t read the room.

a take so bad you go out of your way to find the author and preemptively mute them

CHIMING IN WITH ALL THE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS…. THIS ONE AINT IT POLYGON!

Are there Black People in it?

No thank you.
