Speculative fiction, a genre that explores other worlds, alternate realities, and non-traditional concepts, has long been a refuge for authors from marginalized groups. The works included here tell tales of what could have been or what might be, often with a fantastic or surrealist twist. There is romance, mystery, and tragedy, and there are valuable lessons. Many of the authors here are also activists for important causes or are skilled in other fields. Dive in to give your imagination a jump start!
