We expect our esteemed readers are ALWAYS seeking Black Authors and Stories. Here's some particular loves.
The City We Became
N.K. Jemisin
Genre: Cosmic Horror, Fantasy
Length: A chonk
Good for: People who like Pacific Rim
A "Finding your Queer Crew Before The Apocalypse Does" narrative. THEN they fight CITY-EATING RACIST ELDRITCH HORRORS.
My Dear Henry
Kalynn Bayron
Genre: Retelling, Sci Fi, Historical Fiction
Length: Decent
Good for: People who like messy Meet-Cutes
Queer Black remix of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, following two promising medical students. Did you ever think Henry and Jekyll should kiss? THEY SHOULD? Yes good. Also, Hyde is not a monster. At all. Heartbreaking, incredible, still thinking about it.
Pet
Akwaeke Emezi

Length: Short
Good for: People who need some hope
Short, beautiful, soul-wrenching. There will always be monsters. May there always be people like Jam and Pet to hunt them.
