Get ready for a space-faring archaeologist who uncovers an ancient terror on a desolate moon, an immortal who hunts infernal creatures, a celestial being who lands on a polluted planet-destroyed by climate change-to render judgement on its inhabitants, and much more. From Earth and Sky is what Coleman refers to as ‘Nappy Science Fiction & Fantasy.’ This collection of short stories explores the broad landscape of the Black Fantastic-Science Fiction and Fantasy centering black protagonists. Coleman is at his best in this engaging and sublime contribution to the genre using what New York Times Bestselling author A. J. Hartley describes as, ‘Brilliant, incisive language wielded with wit and delicacy. A lightsaber working like a scalpel.’ Buckle up and prepare for a journey into the Black Fantastic that will carry you from earth to sky.
