I thought this was a strong multi-author anthology, with both familiar and unfamiliar writers presenting a pretty wide range of fantastic and speculative fiction. It is not really African, per se, but felt more representative of the African diaspora, though many stories retained a real African flavor. I liked those stories, with a rich sense of difference and the unfamiliar (to me). Favorites included the Clark alternate world fantasy, the futuristic Huchu story which opens the book, and the lovely Ngemtu. I recommend this for its variety, its intelligence, and the powerful language and themes of many of the tales.

Great cover and stories. It is so nice to get these speculative stories from African authors. "The Haunting of Kambili" was particularly creepy and sad, dealing with generational trauma.
