Who else loves the anthology Black Sci-Fi Short Stories?? Which was your favorite story in the collection? Reposted from @book_withquotes @flametreepress 🍁🍁 This is a compilation of short stories by Black authors. The tales’ settings waver a sketch of time- from the times of subjugation and abuse to superheroes and the far-off future. Most sections are short stories, however, three are more similar to novella length. All accounts are elegantly composed. A few stories stand apart to me for an assortment of reasons. Two stories are outstanding as a result of their furious, melodious yet undaunted, exposition, which ends up highlighting the relationship of two dark females constrained into servitude. I don’t want to spoil much about the stories, so go ahead and read the book. 🍁🍁 Rating of the book - 4⭐/5⭐ 🍁🍁 For full review, click the link in bio.

Reposted @ktempestbradford I have a story Black Sci-fi Short Stories alongside some AMAZING authors. Check out the table of contents. It's available anywhere good books are sold.
Ines Johnson, Leslye Penelope, and Cerece Rennie Murphy joined @IsisAsare, Sistah Scifi's CEO/Founder, to visit @nmaahc amazingly curated Afrofuturism exhibit yesterday!!!
The exhibit opens with a multimedia display of Ytasha Womack, John Jennings, Alondra Nelson, George Clinton, and Mark Dery defining "Afrofuturism" on one side and the history of Afrofuturism - from its African roots to examples of Afrofuturism going as far back as the 1800s with Blake; or the Huts of America by Martin Delany and The Comet by W.E.B. DuBois (both included in Black Sci-fi Short Stories published by @flametreepublishing) on the other side.
Isis took LOTS of pictures and videos, so look out for a complete virtual experience (all terms used loosely) of her visit soon!
Oh, and if you haven't already ordered the companion book to the exhibition AFROFUTURISM: A HISTORY OF BLACK FUTURES (published by @smithsonian_books) we have one left in stock before we sell out for the fifth time!

"African Folktales Reimagine" is a collection of six standalone short films from the African continent. The collection is at times inspiring - the first films brings strong @womankingmovie vibes - and at times gut wrenching and difficult to watch. Please refer to the content warnings at the start of each episode.
African Myths and Tales - edited by Kwadwo Osei-Nyame, Jnr and published by @flametreepublishing - is a great reference for readers that want to dive deeper into the mythology that inspired the short films.
The collection offers a hefty selection of legends and tales – stories of the gods, creation and origins, trickster exploits, animal fables and stories which entertain and edify – from ‘Obatala Creates Mankind’, from the Yoruba people of west Africa, to ‘The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars’, from the San people of southern Africa, all collected in a gorgeous gold-foiled and embossed hardback to treasure.
