Afro Tales: Anthology Volume 1($16.99Value)

Description

Some gifts are curses. Some curses are older than any name you have for them. In these eight stories, a man cursed by a queen walks through three thousand years of history toward the one thing he was told he could never have. An FBI agent hunting a monster discovers he was always the prey. A painter in Harlem spends his life recording everything the world tried to erase, and dies before he can be stopped. A trumpet player in 1940s Havana makes a bargain the sea will never forget. A spirit guide loves a broken boy into becoming a man, then lets him go. A fourteen-year-old prodigy solves an unsolvable puzzle and releases something ancient into the world. A young occultist survives a cursed blanket and understands, finally, what she is. A grandson holds his grandmother's hand and takes her somewhere the disease cannot follow. Afro Tales is a supernatural anthology rooted in Black mythology, Black history, and Black interiority. These stories were not written to explain us. They were written to remind us of what we already know.
