Hadithi [n. fable, story] is a new hybrid birthed from the collaboration of two writers with heritage in the African diaspora.

It features seven short stories — three original — of ancestry, soul, continuity, discontinuity as well as steampunk, cyberfunk and a dieselfunk superhero story set in the ’20s, together with a scholarly dialogue on the global state of black speculative fiction. Hadithi offers the kind of afrofuturistic diversity you might expect from a duality of curious writers unafraid to cross the borders of normalcy. 

‘Rich, strange and compelling…distinctive… inventive… Hadithi is just stunning. You won’t see the world in the same way again.’ Award-winning author and distinguished scholar Dominique Hecq, MA, Dip Ed, Ph D 

‘Eugen Bacon and Milton Davis come together for Hadithi & The State of Speculative Black Fiction to share a compelling addition to the commentaries and canon of black literature’ — Aurealis
