Octavia E. Butler said, "There's nothing new under the sun, but
there are new suns." New Suns 2 brings you fresh visions of the

Suns anthology (winner of the World Fantasy, Locus, IGNYTE, and
British Fantasy awards), this book liberates writers of many races
to tell us tales no one has ever told. Many things come in twos:
dualities, binaries, halves, and alternates. Twos are found
throughout New Suns 2, in eighteen science fiction, fantasy, and
horror stories revealing daring futures, hidden pasts, and
present-day worlds filled with unmapped wonders. Including stories
by Daniel H. Wilson, K. Tempest Bradford, Darcie Little Badger,

Mosley and an afterword by Dr. Grace Dillon.

something more out there. She still believes in the old stories.
Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters.
Like all cottonmouths, he's been cast from home. He's found a new
one on the banks of the bottomless lake. Nina and Oli have no idea
the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange
sickness that befalls Oli's best friend, will drive their worlds
together in ways they haven't been in centuries. And there are some
who will kill to keep them apart. Darcie Little Badger introduced
herself to the world with Elatsoe. In A Snake Falls to Earth, she
draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave
another unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family. It is
not to be missed.

Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best
friends, and pistachio ice cream. There are some differences. This
America been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge,
and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not. Some of
these forces are charmingly everyday, like the ability to make an
orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of
fungi. But other forces are less charming and should never see the
light of day. Elatsoe lives in this slightly stranger America. She
can raise the ghosts of dead animals, a skill passed down through
generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just
been murdered, in a town that wants no prying eyes. But she is
going to do more than pry. The picture-perfect facade of Willowbee
masks gruesome secrets, and she will rely on her wits, skills, and
friends to tear off the mask and protect her family. Darcie Little
Badger is an extraordinary debut talent in the world of speculative
fiction. We have paired her with her artistic match, illustrator
Rovina Cai. This is a book singular in feeling and beauty.
