About this listen

Featuring the masterful prose of some of today's most accomplished writers, Forged in FIYAH is a celebration of Black speculative fiction unlike anything seen before!

Forged in FIYAH showcases the extraordinary talent and innovation of contemporary Black science fiction and fantasy. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of FIYAH Magazine of Black Speculative Fiction, this collection of eighteen stories features tales from mainstays of genre fiction alongside the dynamic, groundbreaking work of several of FIYAH's most promising newcomers.

From pop-up funeral homes between worlds to magical healing silks; from second chance afterlives to creepy, sinister dolls; and from kindhearted killing machines to a vampire with a conscience, these stories of science fiction, fantasy, and horror are unlike anything you have read before.

Hopeful, defiant, glorious, and joyful, Forged in FIYAH is a landmark celebration of everything Black speculative fiction has to offer!

Critic reviews

Praise for Suyi Davies Okungbowa

Praise for Maurice Broaddus

“Not to be missed.” —Washington Post

“Maurice Broaddus’s Sweep of Stars marks the opening gambit in a great saga, told with a unique voice and a talent that challenges and rewards in equal measures. It’s epic in scope, yet intimate. It breaks the mold of what’s expected, yet is as welcoming as a warm campfire on the darkest night.” —James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Praise for C. L. Clark

“With Fate's Bane, C.L. Clark has written a book that feels like a ballad sung at dusk, or a tale told by torch-light: haunting, ancient, full of bad blood and true love. Gather round, listen close--I promise, you'll never forget it.” —Alix E. Harrow

“Bardic and powerful, Clark weaves a timeless narrative of pain and retribution, love, loss and family against the backdrop of the ancient fens." —Hannah Kaner, bestselling author of Godkiller
