The African SF Novels and Novellas - Curated by Eugen Bacon

In April, we gave you a titillating ensemble of Afrocentric short story collections and anthologies, and they were quite the hit! Now here's a collectors' trove of thought-provoking speculative novels and novellas by multi-award-winning Afrodescendant peoples, on Blackness, dystopias, positionality and writing the other. Savor near future ecothrillers, climate activism, kindredhood, multiverses, mysticism, unregulated technology and precognitive mutants to blood magic, theocracies, African spirituality and river dances at one with the rhythmic gong of spellbinding drums. Features work by Xan van Rooyen, Stephen Embleton, Nuzo Onoh—the "Queen of African Horror", Tobias Buckell, and more. Curated by Solstice, Locus, British Fantasy Award Winner and Otherwise Fellow Eugen Bacon, who is also a multi-award finalist (Philip K. Dick, Shirley Jackson, World Fantasy, BSFA Awards). – Eugen Bacon
