Black Sci-Fi Short Stories by Temi Oh
New stories from modern black writers, many published here for the first time, explore the themes of science fiction: discovery, time-travel, genetics and more. This deluxe edition presents them alongside storytellers of an older generation who evoked the living dystopia of slavery: Martin Delany, Pauline Hopkins, Sutton Griggs and W.E.B. Du Bois."Both wonderful and important [...] this book is nothing less than a powerful argument for Black science fiction to be recognized, to be seen, and to be appreciated on its own terms. " -- Lightspeed Magazine
"An excellent mix of adventure and excitement. Some of them are in the creepy-Lovecraftian style, others are terrifying glimpses into the future. A great collection to dip in and out of." -- Terence Eden’s Blog
"This comprehensive, powerful volume elevates marginalized voices of the genre, and is an excellent start for readers looking to diversify their reading material." -- Booklist
"[...] the anthology contains a thrilling group of memorable, moving tales that often examine the intersections of race, gender, grief, tech and the fantastical." -- Scientific American
"These tales incorporate sci-fi, dystopian, and oftentimes futuristic tales that intersect identity, technology, space, and time. While fictional, these are still great reads on the Black experience with a mix between century-old classics and more modern tales." -- Reviewed
"The latest installment of Flame Tree Press’s “Gothic Fantasy” series has something for every speculative fiction taste." -- Library Journal
