BUTLER New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color showcases emerging and seasoned writers of many races telling stories filled with shocking delights, powerful visions of the familiar made strange. Between this book's covers burn tales of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and their indefinable overlappings. These are authors aware of our many possible pasts and futures, authors freed of stereotypes and clichés, ready to dazzle you with their daring genius. Unexpected brilliance shines forth from every page. Includes stories by Kathleen Alcala, Minsoo Kang, Anil Menon, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Alex Jennings, Alberto Yanez, Steven Barnes, Jaymee Goh, Karin Lowachee, E. Lily Yu, Andrea Hairston, Tobias Buckell, Hiromi Goto, Rebecca Roanhorse, Indrapramit Das, Chinelo Onwualu and Darcie Little Badger.

This book's wide range of stories is its greatest strength; though no reader will love them all, every reader will find something worth rereading * Publishers Weekly *
A strongly balanced anthology, and a powerful one - surely one of the best original anthologies of 2019 * Locus *
Varied, rich, and delightful * Los Angeles Review of Books *
A great choice for people entirely new to genre fiction and a solid read for anybody * Book Riot *
A celebration of people of color * Lightspeed Magazine *
An earnest compilation of voices from many ethnicities and backgrounds, exploring their experiences as people of colour, and as marginalised people * Reactor *
New Suns does more than offer a diverse group of writers of colour from different backgrounds: it also offers a diversity of the futures that can be possible in the speculative canon * Strange Horizons *
A strong collection... There's a lot to think about and a lot which is seen from a very distinct point of view * Blue Book Balloon *
