"Sheree Renéeacute;e Thomas gives us a whirlpool of poem and story, a ''wild and strangeful breed'' of cosmology. . ."―Tyehimba Jess, author of Olio, Pulitzer Prize Winner.

The award-winning Sheree Renée Thomas, author of Nine Bar Blues, returns with a new collection steeped in Hoodoo, fantasy, magic myths, and lore.

Meet a spacefaring prophet of the future digging in the crates of earth''s past. Step into a Memphis salon where coiled braids hold ancient power, and stylists conjure Rootwork against forces both seen and unseen. Witness a future where the state claims bodies, and women forge a rebellion of fire and spirit from the land''s deep memory. Follow a stylish African dandy spy navigating a world woven with intrigue and hidden currents of power. and enter a legendary diner whose culinary wares change fates.

These tales resonate with the magic and mystery, the deep rhythms and blues of the soul''s passage through life and beyond. Short stories that invite readers into realms where ancient traditions and futuristic visions collide in a vibrant chorus of magic, music, and adventure, where the raw pulse of the natural world intertwines with the hum of tomorrow''s technology, revealing the boundless wonders of existence.

This is a multigenre brew, strange and wondrous, exploring the supernatural currents of music, history, and culture, Hoodoo as an ancient modern spiritual force and living folklore, the exquisite whimsy and profound horrors found in existence, and the boundless territories of the impossible.
