What is also evident in this short story collection is that Ms. Jemisin can write anything. Her prose, sometimes pulsing, encourages you to read at different tempos as if she is conducting an orchestra. Slow moving tension and suspense make you fearful, but then entices you into reading the next sentence.

Le Guin, she is a visionary who shows us our world by remaking it in stories.--Kelly LinkJemisin's phenomenal success has been something like an earthquake ripping through the traditional order of fantasy itself.--New York/VultureJemisin's stories are discerning, thought-provoking, and beautifully crafted, showcasing a master at work.--Pen AmericaMarvelous and wide-ranging.--Los Angeles TimesN. K. Jemisin is a powerhouse of speculative fiction. So, obviously, you need to read this new short story collection.--BustleNora Jemisin is a writer of uncanny gifts who is to a moral certainty one of the five best we have right now.--Sci-FiOne line from [Jemisin's introduction] has tattooed itself on my mind, a sort of manifesto for her ongoing work and all the fiction I love: 'Now I am bolder, and angrier, and more joyful.' I felt, after reading these stories, that I was too.--NPR BooksPowerful and mind-expanding...Jemisin pushes boundaries, experiments with format and theme, and challenges expectations.--Publishers Weekly (starred review)Read her books-they're probably better than whatever else you were going to read next.--Literary HubThe most celebrated science fiction and fantasy writer of her generation...

Jemisin is an essential voice in modern-day SFF.--B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy BlogThere are so many things in How Long 'Til Black Future Month-from firebirds to Megacops, from truffles to hurricanes, from utopias (maybe) to civil rights marches-that it's impossible to describe. Except to say that every single story here is riveting, provocative, and remarkable. An extraordinary story collection from an extraordinary writer!--Connie Willis, Hugo and Nebula Award winnerThese stories are wonderful. In worlds both invariably cruel and brilliantly imagined, heroism thrives in the margins.--Nicky Drayden, author of The Prey of GodsWhether she's exploring alien life forms or political machinations, self-sacrifice or monsters
