In the tradition of The Norton Anthology of Black Literature, DARK MATTER: READING THE BONES, like its ground-breaking predecessor, will introduce black SF, fantasy, and speculative fiction writers to those who have not yet realized the depth and breadth of their work- or even, in some cases, that it exists. Including original short fiction and nonfiction as well as previously published works and essays, DARK MATTER will contain approximately 30 stories from the early part of the century through the most cutting-edge work of today.Contributors to this new volume include Charles Johnson, National Book Award-winning author of Middle Passage; Tananarive Due; Walter Mosley, W. E. B. Du Bois; Samuel R. Delany; Nalo Hopkinson; and many more.

Brilliant Storytelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2014

Verified Purchase

Just like the original Dark Matter (Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora), this is a brilliant collection. Some of the stories stay with you long after you've read them, prompting a second and third and fourth reading. Seriously, more people should read this Dark Matter book and the original.

beautiful, often dark and quite mind twisting

A book full of wondrous stories; beautiful, often dark and quite mind twisting. Some, like "Whipping Boy" by Pam Noles or "Wispers in the Dark" by Walter Mosley were favorites of mine although i could not fully understand the first. The world has turned deeper and more complex.

A worthy collection

Reviewed in the United States on 7 March 2018

There's a bit of everything in here. Supernatural, sci fi, romance, action, sombre critique. Everything I was looking for. My only complaint is that I wish some of the stories were longer.

Lots of Talent

Great selection of stories and really thought provoking essays. Couldn't put it down! I especially love the essay by Jewelle Gomez "The Second Law of Thermodyamics" which transcribes part of a panel discussion at the 28th Annual writers' conference at Clarke Atlanta University.
