MOJO: CONJURE STORIES

A few more nickels for your nation sack…

Mojo: Conjure Stories is an anthology I edited, of short stories rooted in magics of the African Diaspora. It was released by Warner Books in April 2003.

Mojo — a powerful, disturbing anthology edited by Nalo Hopkinson that explores the world of voodoo — contains short stories by some of the biggest names in modern fantasy, including Neil Gaiman, Barbara Hambly, Steven Barnes, Andy Duncan, and Tananarive Due. Although the stories explore the myths and legends of personal magic, the subject matter ranges widely from African warriors in the holds of slave ships to abused children plotting revenge to drag queens to the undead living in affluent closed communities. Unlike many anthologies, this collection of 19 original stories has no weak spots. Every tale is strong, unique, and noteworthy in its own right. Fans of Nalo Hopkinson works like Brown Girl in the Ring and the short story collection Skin Folk will cherish this brilliant collection.
