In the tradition of The Norton Anthology of Black Literature, DARK MATTER: READING THE BONES, like its ground-breaking predecessor, will introduce black SF, fantasy, and speculative fiction writers to those who have not yet realized the depth and breadth of their work- or even, in some cases, that it exists. Including original short fiction and nonfiction as well as previously published works and essays, DARK MATTER will contain approximately 30 stories from the early part of the century through the most cutting-edge work of today.Contributors to this new volume include Charles Johnson, National Book Award-winning author of Middle Passage; Tananarive Due; Walter Mosley, W. E. B. Du Bois; Samuel R. Delany; Nalo Hopkinson; and many more.

Brilliantly diverse.'- Publishers Weekly * 'An important book, and nobody interested in speculative fiction or black literature should pass it up.'- Washington Post Book World *
May well be a watershed in the long overdue but rapidly accelerating diversification of SF as a whole. * Locus *
