There's a history here, too. @drsepinwall.bsky.social's brilliant Slave Revolt on Screen covers decades of attempts to create film, TV, and video game projects that would have delved into Haitian Revolution.

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution.

Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

For #CaribbeanFolkloreMonth and Black Speculative Fiction Month, I highly recommend the anthology Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root, edited by Nalo Hopkinson, one of my fave Jamaican authors. If you love folklore, fantasy, and Caribbean stories, treat your shelf!
