Better yet, check it out from you local #library!!   First image reposted from @thedragonsden_ ☀️ Africa Risen ☀️ So I've been slowly reading this book for the last couple of months, just savouring it. The quality on the stories here is overall very high, and everyone offers something interesting. Short stories are such a great way to discover new authors, and this one in particular is great of you want to diversify your reading - all of the authors are African or from the African diaspora!  The diversity in the stories here is great too - it's got everything from science fiction to futurism to fantasy to more horror type stories. Something for everyone, basically! One story I liked in particular was a story set in the future where most choose to live online, since that's where you can be a king rather than living in the sad reality. The story explores how you can never really leave the real world behind, and had a very moving ending 🥹 So yeah. If you're into short story collections, I can only highly recommend this one!! . . .
