BLACK STARS A Galaxy of New Worlds

This introspective collection of short stories by Black authors treats listeners to an astonishing array of futuristic worlds and circumstances. From the alleys of New York to the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, these stories push the boundaries of humanity. An outstanding assembly of authors is matched by a stellar set of narrators, including both well-versed veterans and fresh talents. Of particular note are LeVar Burton's jovially menacing turn in a story about underwater reparations and the cost of freedom, Naomi Ackie as a djinn-like creature reemerging in a time of conflict, and Brian Tyree Henry's vocal range as an unhoused man and the collection of soda cans that might be telling him the secrets of the universe.
