Jemisin’s stories are about destruction, redemption, and rebellion. My personal favorite was “Valedictorian,” a story about a Black girl who refuses to underachieve even though being the best in her class will have dire consequences for her future.
This collection showcases her talents, from “L’Alchimista,” about a chef fallen from grace who finally finds a challenge worth her skills, to “Non-Zero Probabilities,” where one-in-a-million chances suddenly become day-to-day probabilities. Jemisin is one of the top SFF writers today. How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? by N.K.
But here’s my best shot: a list of the best fantastic, ambiguous, twisting, mysterious, and world-bending short story collections out there right now. There are hundreds of incredible SFF short story collections out there, and even with a list of 20, I couldn’t include all of the must-reads.
