"Sheree Renée Thomas gives us a whirlpool of poem and story, a 'wild and strangeful breed' of cosmology. . ."―Tyehimba Jess, author of Olio, Pulitzer Prize Winner.
The award-winning Sheree Renée Thomas, author of Nine Bar Blues returns with a new collection of Hoodoo, fantasy, magic myths, and lore.
Meet a spacefaring prophet of the future digging in the crates of earth's past, follow intrepid ancient body snatchers in search of the elixir of life, fall in love with a shapeshifting, alien goddess intent on the world's most epic family reunion. Beware of the Candylady whose sweets hide secrets yet to be seen, and enter a legendary diner whose culinary wares change fates.
These tales masterfully speak to the magic and mystery, the rhythms and blues of the soul's turn through life and beyond. Short stories that invite readers into a world where ancient traditions and futuristic visions collide in a symphony of magic, music, and adventure, tapping into that natural power and rhythms of a natural world that is connected to futuristic technology.
These stories explore the supernatural rhythms of music, history, and culture, Hoodoo as an ancient modern spiritual tradition and folklore, the whimsy and horrors of life, and the realms of the impossible. It's a multigenre strange and wondrous brew.
