A powerful, revealing anthology of dark fiction and poetry by Black
women writers. The tales of what scares, threatens and shocks them will
enlighten and entertain you.
Sycorax's Daughters' stories and poems delve into demons and shape
shifters from Carole McDonnell's "How to Speak to the Bogeyman" and
Sheree Renée Thomas' "Tree of the Forest Seven Bells Turns the World
Round Midnight" to far future offerings from Kiini Ibura Salaam's "The
Malady of Need", Valjeanne Jeffers' steampunk female detective in "Mona
Livelong: Paranormal Detective II" and others.
These thought-provoking twenty-eight stories and fourteen poems cover
creatures imagined--vampires, ghosts, and mermaids, as well as the
unexpected price paid by women struggling for freedom and validation in
the past--slavery to science-fiction futures with transhumans and
alternate realities.
Leave the lights on and join these amazing authors as they share their
unique vision of fear.
