Myth, technology, and the price of a soul

Ten illustrated stories connect a pre-revolutionary Haiti with a tech-noir future, reimagining divine power through the language of corporations, markets, and subscription services. Their varied speculative premises include a singer whose performances spark upheaval, a boy who hacks a supernatural stock exchange, and an afterlife where forbidden stories are smuggled under authoritarian rule. Across these settings, the collection brings questions of spiritual ownership into contact with rebellion, grief, and transformation. Its Afrofuturist and Black fantasy framework gives the stories a shared imaginative territory while allowing each to approach that territory through a different premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in Afrofuturist and Black fantasy fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated short story collections with speculative premises.
  • Readers interested in stories connecting spiritual power, technology, and rebellion.

Book overview

What if gods became corporations-and your soul was their currency?

 

In Dominick Rabrun's debut Afrofuturist short story collection:

 

Behold Fabienne, whose singing births spots of madness on her audience's skin-and ignites revolution in pre-revolutionary Haiti.

Behold Louis, a boy hacking a supernatural stock exchange through his game console-before his mother trades away her soul.

Behold Adam, death's favorite driver, who can slip between worlds but can't outrun what he owes.

Behold Ednice, dead but not gone, smuggling forbidden stories through an afterlife run by an authoritarian god. From the spark of the Haitian Revolution to a tech-noir future where dying is just another subscription service, these ten illustrated stories weave a tapestry of rebellion, grief, and transformation. When gods become corporations, can your soul ever truly be your own?
