Racism and hatred, grief and loss, form actual monsters that only the Sangerye family can fight in David Walker’s Bitter Roots series. Kwanza Osajeyfo’s Black AF universe takes a macabre turn in Widows and Orphans, as Black babies with superpowers are bartered and sold. And Brandon Thomas’ Excellence imagines a world in which magic is to be used by the oppressed as a tool to improve the lives of the “better class.” Join these three storytelling masters as they discuss how they create such chilling “fantastical” worlds.
