They Swallowed the Sun

a black speculative fiction anthology

The Art

The Project:

Black folks, it’s time to take off the cape and let the world burn.

They Swallowed the Sun is a Black speculative fiction anthology that explores a multiverse where suns flicker, light fades, and entire worlds waivers on the brink of collapse.

Coming Fall 2026

The Vision:

You asked for more representation—we delivered.

This anthology is a celebration of Black speculative fiction, created by us, for us. Inside, you’ll find fantasy, horror, sci-fi, dark romance, Afrofuturism, Afro-punk, a Black woman Sherlock Holmes mystery—and so much more.

Now, we need your help to bring this project to life! By backing this Kickstarter, you’re supporting Black stories, Black art, and a future of inclusive representation in publishing.

Let’s make this happen together.  Donate now. Link in bio!
