Flat lay of Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root, a Caribbean fabulist fiction anthology, between two leafy vines on a brown, wooden surface. The front of the book jacket features a lush forest setting with a Black mermaid sitting on a rock by a river.
For #CaribbeanFolkloreMonth and Black Speculative Fiction Month, I highly recommend the anthology Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root, edited by Nalo Hopkinson, one of my fave Jamaican authors. If you love folklore, fantasy, and Caribbean stories, treat your shelf!

Original Caribbean hybrid of history and myth is an act of art and decolonialization, of imagination and resistance to the mainstream, though not wholly penetrable to audiences beyond the island culture.
