β "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."--Publishers Weekly, starred reviewFables and Spells is a vibrant selection of visionary works, both previously published and brand new.
