So, while it shares similarities with its sister title Afrofuturism Short Stories, this new collection focuses on stories that are set in and about Africa - whether that's a future Africa, an alternative Africa or a parallel Africa. The genre leans towards science fiction rather than fantasy, and towards positive scenarios and concepts, but of course is open to interpretation: the publication of both books offers a dialogue that explores tradition and influence, and fresh insights both about our past, and visions of our future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eFlame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales\u003c\/b\u003e collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.09oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.00w x 1.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835622735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYvette Lisa Ndlovu\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction) is a Zimbabwean sarungano.
