Dark Matter

An anthology of African American fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction features some forty short stories by Octavia E. Butler, Samuel R. Delany, Tananarive Due, Walter Mosley, Ishmael Reed, Steven Barnes, and others. An important new anthology, the first of it's kind, Dark Matter explores a century of fantastic fiction by pre-eminent and emerging luminaries of the African Diaspora. A richly vibrant collection of stories and essays, it displays the brilliance of writers ranging from early pioneers such as W.E.B. Du Bois, to famed SF authors including Samuel R. Delany and Octavia E. Butler, to such luminaries of the literary tradition as playwright/critic Amiri Baraka and satirist Ishmael Reed, as well as a spectrum of acclaimed new writers. Atonishing, compelling, erotic, and profound stories of worlds within and beyond abound in Dark Matter. From the bittersweet legacies of Africa to utterly phantasmagoric future civilisations, here is a compilation of stories that transmute our human experience.
