Nov 12, 2022 : Beyond Wakanda! Celebrating New African Speculative Fiction

Join us to celebrate new works of speculative fiction from Africa! In collaboration with Brittle Paper

A journey through sinking red quicksands -- a smart-talking Edinburgh teen who can talk to ghosts -- a porcelain bowl with healing powers -- woman in a coma who can go back and forth in time -- and an all-out post-apocalyptic Africa with robots-gone-human and mer creatures parading the streets.

SEASONS IN HIPPOLAND by Wanjiku Ngugi (Seagull Books)
COSMOGRAMMA by Courttia Newland (Akashic Books)
LIBRARY OF THE DEAD by Tendai Huchu (Tor Books)
