Since it's Black Speculative Fiction Month, I thought I'd share a story I love by a Black author each day. Since I'm starting 10 days in, I'll post a bunch to catch up. I'm going to do 15 from the Top 80 of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and 15 from Lightspeed/Nightmare.

Henderson said, they are enjoying knowing where they were and where they are going, so having those rules and constraints, kind of the opposite of the freedom the absolute universe gives. Love's going back to animated series timeframe, back to her childhood.

Stipan, Matt and I are kind of doing here what we did with 20th Century Men and superheroes, but with zombies; taking the archetypes, themes, and visual language of zombie fiction and trying to do something new with it, telling the most human stories we can.
