A note for parents
This is an adult anthology of speculative fiction stories by and about people of color. While some stories may be suitable for mature teens, others likely contain adult themes, complex plots, and sophisticated language intended for adult readers. The collection includes horror, dystopian, and challenging literary fiction that varies significantly in content and tone across its 17 stories, making a one-size-fits-all age recommendation problematic. Parents should preview individual stories or read reviews of specific pieces before sharing with younger readers.
