Generational Gifts: Stories
Generational Gifts is a haunting, electric tapestry of 32 interconnected short stories that flow like whispered legends passed down through generations. Set at the crossroads of horror and Afro-futurism, this collection explores what happens when Black communities receive reparations—by way of the supernatural.
Each story builds upon the last, unraveling a speculative world where haunted artifacts surface in everyday life, witches protect generational secrets, and bio-A.I. technologies blur the line between community and algorithm. From eerie cults and reanimated minds to time-twisting creatures and interdimensional reckonings, this collection dares to ask: What futures can be built when justice arrives not in courtrooms, but through magic, memory, and mystery?
Themes of community, compassion, and inherited power root these stories deeply in Black culture and imagination. At once terrifying, tender, and triumphant, this is a celebration of Black resilience—beyond time, beyond genre.
Generational Gifts, written by Tyahra Angus. Illustrated by Erica Imoisi
