Description

In this genre-bending collection of fantastic stories, Black and predominantly queer characters confront the entanglements of personhood, gender, slavery, war, and desire. Saints and sailors, fugitives and scoundrels, surfers and survivors move through worlds where the natural and supernatural collide, facing betrayal, violence, wonder, and the possibility of transformation. Structured in pairs that echo and answer one another, the collection brings together acclaimed previously published work alongside the original story “The Lonesome Sea.” Lyrical, daring, and emotionally unflinching, these stories explore what it means not merely to endure a broken world, but to imagine—and claim—a different one.
