THE COOKOUT: SPECULATIVE FICTION FROM THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

You can also pre-order this book in paperback format.

"The Cookout" calls to something in our blood that unites us in love and community. Across the African Diaspora, with the fluctuations of ancestral knowledge and cultural roots, in wealth and happiness, in sickness and danger, in celebration and defiance, in every nook and cranny of the world, you’ll find The Cookout. But can it reach the depths of a Level 100 dungeon? Can we put picnic tables in the stars? Gather round the grill in another dimension? Source our seasonings in the furthest realms of our imaginations?

The Cookout: Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora was edited by Erin Brown, Emmalia Harrington, Tonya R. Moore, and P.C. Verrone
