From the Voodoonauts Afrofuturist collective for Black science fiction and fantasy writers:

Every Black Child went to bed with their parents or grandparents telling them a story of old, of greatness or warning or joy.

Black People the world over hold myriad and, sometimes, intermingled mythos, wives tales, and folklore.

From John Henry to the Orisha, from impundulu to Candyman, the aziza and Baron Samedi, back to Bre'r Rabbit and Bast and T'Challa...

These are the narratives, superstitions, and customs that Black People live with and that impact the way we walk through the world.

In (Re)Living Mythology, authors from around the African diaspora reimagine and retell the myths, legends, and folktales they were told as children.
