★ The 70 short stories and poems that make up Brown's phenomenal debut collection (after the novella Grievers) explore social justice through an Afrofuturist lens...It's a masterful mix of genre and form that showcases Brown's range and skill. This should be required reading for anyone looking for Black feminist speculative literature.
Fables and Spells is a vibrant selection of visionary works, both previously published and brand new. Included here is brown's most beloved story, The River, as well as the two sequel tales of her Water Trio. The remaining sixty-seven pieces explore moments of beauty, conflict, and transformation that also weave deep, radical lessons. With narrative fables of speculative fiction and spells that play with the lines between poetry, instruction, song, and chant, Fables and Spells demonstrates how good writing can engage the present while providing expansive visions of the possible worlds humans can build.
