Book cover for Black Notes: Young Black Voices, edited by Althea Prince (Insomniac Press), with a cherry-red hand upraised in a fist similar to a black power salute, but holding a fountain pen. As far as I can tell, this book is out of print. Book cover for As the Earth Dreams: Black Canadian Speculative Stories (House of Anansi), with a bee in neon blue, pink and purple against a black background. Edited by esteemed poet Terese Mason Pierre, this bold and innovative anthology of speculative short fiction reveals and uplifts the spectacular imaginings, reveries, reflections, experiments, and hopes of Black writers in Canada. Featuring stories by the editor, Trynne Delaney, francesca ekwuyasi, Whitney French, Aline-Mwezi Niyonsenga, Chimedum Ohaegbu, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Chinelo Onwualu, Lue Palmer, and Zalika Reid-Benta. Ten breathtaking stories explore natural and urban landscapes, living and dead relationships, economic catastrophe, love, and desire--all while celebrating the persistent and ever-changing self, and envisioning beautiful Black futures. https://houseofanansi.com/products/as-the-earth-dreams Book cover for bilingual science fiction poetry collection A Belief in Cosmic Dailiness: Poems of a Fabled Universe by Angela Acosta (Red Ogre Review‬), with a creature with a blonde mohawk, dark skin, fuchsia eyes and ears, and scarring in neat lines around the eyes and lips. Nominated twice (2024 and 2025) for the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association’s Elgin Awards. https://ogre.red/press/books/2023-chapbook-acosta-angela/ Book cover for A House Unsettled by Trynne Delaney (Annick Press), with a bouquet of roses rising out of a skull. With her dad’s incarceration, escalating fights with her mom, and an overbearing stepdad she’s not sure she can trust, Asha is desperate for the fresh start promised by a move to the country. Her great aunt Aggie’s crumbling, pest-ridden house isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but the immediate connection she makes with her new neighbor Cole seems like a good sign. Soon, though, Asha’s optimism is shadowed by strange and disturbing occurrences within the old house’s walls: footsteps stalking the halls; a persistent chill; cold hands around her neck in the middle of the night . . . Fearing for her loved ones’ safety–and her own–Asha seeks out the source of these terrifying incidents and uncovers secrets from the past that connect her and Cole’s families and reach into the present. But as tensions with her mom and stepdad rise and Cole withdraws, Asha is left alone to try and break the cycle of violence that holds them all in its haunting grip. https://www.annickpress.com/Books/A/A-House-Unsettled
