Description

T'Challa faces the gods of his parents. Vampires stalk Shuri and a Dora Milaje in voodoo-laced New Orleans. Erik Killmonger grapples with racism, Russian spies, and his own origins. Eighteen brand-new tales of Wakanda, its people, and its legacy. The first mainstream superhero of African descent, the Black Panther has attracted readers of all races and colors who see in the King of Wakanda reflections of themselves. Storytellers from across the African Diaspora-some already literary legends, others who are rising stars-have created for this collection original works inspired by the world of the Panther and its inhabitants. With guest stars including Storm, Monica Rambeau, Namor, and Jericho Drumm, these are stories of yesterday and today, of science and magic, of faith and love. These are the tales of a king and his country. These are the legends whispered in the jungle, myths of the unconquered men and women and the land they love. These are the Tales of Wakanda. Featuring stories by Linda D. Addison, Maurice Broaddus, Christopher Chambers, Milton J. Davis, Tananarive Due, Nikki Giovanni, Harlan James, Danian Jerry, Kyoko M., L.L. McKinney, Temi Oh, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Glenn Parris, Alex Simmons, Sheree Renee Thomas, Cadwell Turnbull and Troy L. Wiggins.

About the Author
Jesse J. Holland is a bestselling non-fiction author, longtime comic book and science-fiction fan, and the writer of the children's novel Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Finn's Story, co-author of the late, lamented-by-no-one-except-a-couple-of-diehard-fans collegiate comic strip Hippie and the Black Guy. He is a Race & Ethnicity reporter with The Associated Press in Washington, D.C and currently lives in Bowie, Maryland, with his wife and children. Sheree Renee Thomas is an award-winning fiction writer, poet, and editor. Her work is inspired by myth and folklore, natural science, and the genius of Mississippi Delta culture and conjure. Her fiction collection Nine Bar Blues: Stories from an Ancient Future (Third Man Books) was a finalist for the 2021 Locus and the 2021 Ignyte Awards. She is also the author of two hybrid collections, Sleeping Under the Tree of Life (Aqueduct Press), longlisted for the 2016 Otherwise Award, and Shotgun Lullabies (Aqueduct Press). She edited the two-time World Fantasy Award-winning, groundbreaking anthologies Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora (Warner Books) and Dark Matter: Reading the Bones (Warner Books), that first introduced W.E.B. Du Bois' work as science fiction. She co-edited Trouble the Waters: Tales of the Deep Blue with Pan Morigan and Troy L. Wiggins (Third Man Books), and Africa Risen: A new Era of Speculative Fiction (Tordotcom) with Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki and Zelda Knight, and she is a collaborator with Janelle Monae on the New York Times-bestselling collection, The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer (Harper Voyager). Sheree is associate editor of Obsidian: Literature & the Arts in the African Diaspora, founded in 1975, and is the editor of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, founded in 1949. Thomas' work is widely anthologized, appearing most recently in The Big Book of Modern Fantasy (Vintage) and Marvels Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda (Titan). In 2020 she was honored to be named a finalist for the World Fantasy Award in the Special Award-Professional category for her contributions to the genre. In 2021 she joined the Curatorial Council of Carnegie Hall's Afrofuturism exhibit sponsored by Bill T. Jones' New York Live Arts and the Black Speculative Arts Movement. She was honored to serve as co-host of the 2021 Hugo Awards in Washington, D.C., with Malka Older. Sheree lives in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, near a mighty river and a pyramid.

Reviews
"It's well worth your time, especially if you are a fan"
Financial Times

"Absolutely filled to the brim with brand new stories... giving voices to those who are not just diverse because they are Black but because of the various cultural backgrounds and experiences they bring to the table." Culturess

"Add[s] to Black Panther and Wakanda's richly storied history." ScreenRant

"This anthology should sate fans longing for the next 'Black Panther' installment." 3/4 Stars, USA Today

"I was engrossed, and devoured this novel in about a day. Some of that is due to the title character... The rest is that Hudlin created a compelling story that Holland was able to translate incredibly well to the written page." Patrick Hellen, AIPT for Black Panther: Who is the Black Panther?

"Jesse J. Holland's riveting book The Invisibles shines a long overdue light on the enslaved men and women who were forced to serve in the nation's seat of executive power." J.D. Dickey, author of Empire of Mud: The Secret History of Washington, DC

"Although some slaves' lives have been lost to history, Holland creates a vivid portrait of many, including William Lee, who worked as Washington's 'body servant'..." Kirkus for The Invisibles

When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
