Immigrant Sci-Fi Short Stories

Speculative fiction from the perspective of the immigrant, throughout history, stories from the distant past and the far future, with a call to the experience of the present. Tales from Hispanic, Latinx, Asian, African continent, Arabic and European origin writers challenge the reader with stories that spill out into space, parallel realms or just hidden in plain sight. Stories of immigration, migration, slavery and seekers of refuge are told with the gaze of the outsider, exploring perspectives of displacement in a future or fantastical setting. New stories by new writers are set alongside older narratives by Frederick Douglass, Sutton Elbert Griggs, and Harriet E. Wilson. An intriguing view of the conflict and anxiety between the settled and the unsettled. The Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
