The Black Fantastic: 20 Afrofuturist Stories, edited by andré m. carrington, collects two decades of Black speculative fiction: Afrofuturist science fiction, weird and fantastic tales, horror and the paranormal, apocalyptic lyricism, time travel, and superheroes. The anthology brings together award-winning writers with emerging and experimental voices, including P. Djèlí Clark's "The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington" and Dawolu Jabari Anderson's "Sanford and Sun." Published by the Library of America, it serves as both a survey of the Afrofuturist tradition and an introduction to its range for new readers.
