Black neighborhood is haunted by ghost children. A Grand Bruja with the gift of sight can’t see what’s in store. A night shift worker at a statue garden witnesses mysterious movement. A young girl strikes a deal that causes her younger brother to vanish. A woman is locked in an asylum with no explanation.
In 1976 Bed-Stuy, two boys find a dead body in an empty lot. A village faces the annual return of their deceased loved ones. A magical Cameroonian scarf symbolizes a sisterly bond. Many people go missing on long stretches of highways. Memorials immortalize some, while others are forgotten—this spirit doesn’t want to be forgotten. A spiritual advisor uses her gifts to find love again.
A woman comes to terms with her marriage as extinct animals emerge from her throat. A reimagining of a fable involving a bridge, a troll, and a couple of goats—this time, the scariest monster might be the eldest sister in a family of witches....and more stories.
midnight & indigo celebrates Black women writers with the fourth Speculative fiction issue of their literary journal. A collection of stories that traverse the strange and the hauntingly real, 21 Black women storytellers across the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe share tales in which the impossible becomes possible, and every corner hides something magical.
