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
strange, the unexpected, the shocking-breakthrough stories, stories
shining with emerging truths, stories that pierce stale
preconceptions with their beauty and bravery. Like the first New
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,
Geetanjali Vandemark, John Chu, Nghi Vo, Tananarive Due, Alex
Jennings, Karin Lowachee, Saad Hossain, Hiromi Goto, Minsoo Kang,
Tlotlo Tsamaase, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Malka Older, Kathleen Alcala,
Christopher Caldwell and Jaymee Goh with a foreword by Walter
Mosley and an afterword by Dr. Grace Dillon.
Winner of the 2020 Locus, World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Ignyte,
and Brave New Words Awards. "There's nothing new under the sun, but
there are new suns," proclaimed Octavia E. Butler. New Suns:
Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color showcases emerging
and seasoned writers of many races telling stories filled with
shocking delights, powerful visions of the familiar made strange.
Between this book's covers burn tales of science fiction, fantasy,
horror, and their indefinable overlappings. These are authors aware
of our many possible pasts and futures, authors freed of
stereotypes and cliches, ready to dazzle you with their daring
genius. Unexpected brilliance shines forth from every page.
Includes stories by Kathleen Alcala, Minsoo Kang, Anil Menon,
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Alex Jennings, Alberto Yanez, Steven Barnes,
Jaymee Goh, Karin Lowachee, E. Lily Yu, Andrea Hairston, Tobias
Buckell, Hiromi Goto, Rebecca Roanhorse, Indrapramit Das, Chinelo
Onwualu and Darcie Little Badger.
In this re-imagining of Belgium's disastrous colonization of the
Congo, African American missionaries join forces with British
socialists to purchase land from the Congo Free State's 'owner,'
King Leopold II. This land, which they name Everfair, is set aside
as a safe haven for native populations of the Congo as well as
settlers from around the world, including dream-eyed Europeans
attempting to create a better society, formerly enslaved people
returning from America, and Chinese railroad builders escaping hard
labour. Using the combined knowledge of four continents, Everfair
becomes a land of spying cats and gulls, nuclear dirigibles buoyed
by barkcloth balloons, and silent pistols that shoot poison knives.
With this technology, Everfair will attempt to defeat the Belgian
tyrant Leopold II. But even if they can defeat their great enemy, a
looming world war and political infighting may threaten to destroy
everything they have built.

Filter House collects the short fiction by Nisi Shawl and includes
an introduction by Eileen Gunn (author of Stable Strategies). The
collections fourteen tales offer a haunting montage that works its
magic subtly on the readers subconscious. As Karen Joy Fowler,
author of The Jane Austen Book Club says, This lovely collection
will take you, like a magic carpet, to some strange and wonderful
places. Three of the stories are original to the volume. Eminent
novelist and critic Ursula K. Le Guin writes: From the exotic,
baroque complexities of At the Huts of Ajala to the stark, folktale
purity of The Beads of Ku, these fourteen superbly written stories
will weave around you a ring of dark, dark magic. Matt Ruff, author
of Set This House In Order and Bad Monkeys calls Filter House A
traveling story-bazaar, offering treasures and curios from diverse
lands of wonder. Eileen Gunn, author of Stable Strategies, concurs
that these are Remarkably involving stories that pull you along a
path of wonder, word by word, in worlds where everything is a bit
different.
