And wow. I read this anthology last week. Out of the entire anthology, only two stories didn't work for me, one because horror just isn't my cuppa, and the other had nifty ideas, but the execution never achieved liftoff for me. But otherwise? A guy whose family constantly hexes him, the worst being grandma who is dead, but that doesn't stop her . . . airship battles over nineteenth century America with monkey airship flyers . . . a story by Octavia Butler about an L.A. when speech is gone . . .enhanced humans and home . . . then three stories I thought were intensely powerful, so brilliantly vivid that a week later, keep popping images up in my head:
"Falling into the Earth," by Shweta Narayan
“Légendaire,” by Kai Ashante Wilson
“The Salt Water African,” by Lisa Bolekaja
This offer is open until the anniversary of Octavia E. Butler's birthday in June.
