Rebellion Publishing have been regularly releasing excellent anthologies such as The Djinn Falls in Love and earlier this year The Not So Stories exploring a number of writers of colour discussed colonialism within fantasy and now they can announce a new amazing anthology on its way – NEW SUNS!!

New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Colour is edited by Nishi Shawl (author of Everfair and numerous short stories). The basis of the title comes from Octavia E Butler who said “There’s nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns”; the aim of the anthology is to showcase several new and veteran authors from many races being allowed to tell stories of science fiction, fantasy, horror and all the gaps in between. It offers a move away from stereotypes and clichés. It even has a foreward by LeVar Burton aka Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation! Plus just look at that cover by Yoshi Yoshitani (check out their other art at  http://www.yoshiyoshitani.com/ )and the impressive list of authors below means this looks something very special. Stay tuned for further details and reviews nearer publication date
