I was lucky enough to hear Wole Talabi read some of his novella "Descent" at Flights of Foundry, and having just finished reading it, I want to make everyone else read it, too. Fascinating worldbuilding; gorgeous images; a thoughtful portrayal of how and why we seek knowledge. tinyurl.com/wt-descent

The Sauútiverse keeps expanding! Behold the cover for our 2nd anthology: Sauúti Terrors!

Following Mothersound, return to the Sauútiverse - our collectively-built, Afrocentric, matriarchal shared-world of strange planets & sound magic - for dark fantasy, SF & horror stories & poetry.

If you're interested in African Fiction, please also follow the @sauutiverse.bsky.social for SO much book joy.

If you're not? You really should get into it. The stories being told are as excellent as they are mind-changing. Which is precisely why they are being held back by the power structure.
