The stunning follow-up to the multiple-award-winning anthology of SFF by people of colour
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 by people of colour, revealing daring futures, hidden pasts, and present-day worlds filled with unmapped wonders.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.
