Africa with a Twist: MV Media Publishing specializes in publishing bold stories told by and for people of the African Diaspora. From stories of ancient African heroism to mind- bending space operas, the worlds created in the stories you see are bodacious, full of imagination, and action-packed. My personal favorite of their many selections is their Steamfunk Anthology. Besides the storytelling, which is superb, what makes this anthology stand out is the wonderful variety of stories encompassed in this book. From an elderly woman who turns into a crime-fighting spider at night, to a boy with a mechanical heart who finds an unexpected kinship in the Serengeti, each story is utterly unique and well worth the risk of trying something new. There are so many wonderful stories out there featuring an expansive vision of Black people. For more recommendations from my personal collection, visit my website here.
