I only heard about this book recently, and by impulse I pressed play on the audiobook. It took me a while to really get into the story, but once I was submerged, there was no way to pull me out. 

The Between is about Hilton and his family receiving death threats from a white supremacist - but that's not all there is to the story. Hilton experienced something that traumatised him as a child - he found his Nana dead, but minutes later, impossibly, she was alive again. Things were never really the same after that. Not long after, Hilton also flirts with death, only to come back to the world of the living after. 

Since then, he experiences the most vivid dreams, even as a middle aged man. These dreams tell him things-things that haven't happened yet, and eventually the line between the real world and his dreams are blurred.  

I really don't want to give anything away from here on out. This was a ground-breaking story, with major themes of racism. I'm reminded of Tananarive Due's foreword, where she says that Jordan Peele plays on racism/the white man as a horror aspect because that's the stark reality that black people face every single day, and that's what this book reflects too. Only she did it way before Jordan Peele did. 

Please read this, it may be one of the most mind-blowing horrors I've ever come across.
