The Black Fantastic Bundle - curated by Zelda Knight: Every year, during Black History Month, we commemorate the achievements of Black people worldwide. This celebration encompasses all facets of Black life and culture, including the written word. By curating this bundle on storybundle.com, I hope to expose more readers to some of the best writing in the Black Fantastic tradition, including bestselling authors, award-winners, and rising stars.
The Black Fantastic is a catch-all term that transcends strict definition. It weaves together genres as diverse as Afro & African Futurisms, Horror Noire, Steamfunk, Sword & Soul, alternate histories, fables, spirituality, science fiction, fantasy, romance, and so much more.

"The story keeps you guessing as you follow along with Regulators Fawn Granger and Briscoe ="BB" Baker. Robots, hatchling, humans are living in this world created by the author. I especially enjoyed the fluidity of the characters in their personal relationships, it felt comfortable and right for each of those characters. Fawn is planning to make a big change of scenery at the end of the week or maybe a case as it seems to be shaping up in the beginning. Her and her partner BB have a long week ahead and a tale to read about that is full of action and investigating; even some hostile individuals that are holding back lots of secrets and some that let them go to stir the pot. As the week comes to a close; so does the case or at least the murder perpetrator is found, there is more to explore on the motivations and purpose behind the death of Dr. Cho."
– JJ BroennerNo Love for the Wicked by Jessica Cage
"I was so wrapped up in the book I finished it in one night."
– Amazon Reviewer - Mama JStone and Steel by Eboni Dunbar
"Stone and Steel is a sharp and sexy story of love, loyalty and magic. Eboni has given us a world where Black Queerness reigns supreme, and our world is better for it."
– Danny Lore, co-author of Queen of Bad DreamsEmpire of the Feast by Bendi Barrett
"I'm in love with this daring space opera aswirl with sensuality, galactic politics, and cosmic hunger. Barrett is endlessly inventive, crafting a novella of anime-slick vision and dexterous storytelling. A lyrical, sorcerous kind of sci-fi."
– Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of TeethTrouble the Waters by Sheree Renée Thomas, Pan Morigan and Troy L. Wiggins
"Stories to make you feel infinitely hopeful. This collection recharges rebellion as powerfully as a dry spell broken by heavy rain."
– ZZ Claybourne, author of Afro Puffs Are the Antennae of the Universe and The Brothers Jetstream: LeviathanThe Wolf Queen Book 2: The Promise of Aferi by Cerece Rennie Murphy
"Book 1 ended with a stunning turn of events. Book 2 takes up the story in an action-packed page-turner as Ameenah becomes a leader, but grows as a person as well. The characters were relatable and larger than life. Wonderful fantasy world and story."
– Lynn Emery, Paranormal Mystery and Science Fiction authorThe Wolf Queen Book 1: The Hope of Aferi by Cerece Rennie Murphy
"There is much to enjoy with this novel: the world building, the protagonist, the pacing. It's well done and enjoyable. I was invested in Ameenah's story and enjoyed her as a protagonist. We don't often see fantasy fiction that's not based on a strictly western European frame of reference and that was very refreshing."
– H. CummingsThe Long Walk by Milton J. Davis
"The Long Walk delivers a heartfelt action-adventure story of Patience as she takes a long walk to find Harriet Tubman. It is a robust action adventure, filled with battles, demons, and magic."
