A Place Between Waking and Forgetting is dark speculative fiction, an Afro-Irreal collection in which transformative
stories of culture, diversity, climate change, unlimited futures, collisions of worlds, mythology, and
more, inhabit. It cases black people stories in bold and evocative text, at times deeply flawed but potentially
redeemable protagonists in rich hues of blackness and light. Something beautiful, something dark in lyrical
language packed with affection, dread, anguish and hope.
Featuring the World Fantasy Award finalist story "The Devil Don't Come With Horns," this collection of short
stories is the latest offering by a genre-bending, multi-award winner.
It arrives with a poetic introduction by award-winning writer and poet Linda D. Addison, the first African-American
recipient of the world-renowned HWA Bram Stoker Award, and has received five awards for her collections.
Addison has been honored with the HWA Lifetime Achievement Award, HWA Mentor of the Year and SFPA
Grand Master of Fantastic Poetry.
