We’re super excited to share with you the authors and poets in the first anthology, Sauúti Terrors: The Dark Side by Flame Tree Publishing, distributed by Simon and Schuster. sauuti.com/sauuti-terro... @genni.bsky.social @xanwriter.bsky.social @wtalabi.bsky.social @stephenembleton.bsky.social

If you're a horror reader, I hope you know how incomprehensibly good this is going to be.

The Sauútiverse is expanding! Following our inaugural Locus and BSFA award nominated anthology Mothersound, more is coming. Bigger, bolder, better. With more stories set in this unique Afrocentric shared world. If you don't know what the Sauútiverse is, get familiar!

It's official!! There's a new Sauúti anthology coming, in fact, it'll be a 2-book anthology about all things dark and scary in the Sauútiverse. I have a poem and a story in this anthology I cannot wait for you to read! 😍 jaylit.com/flame-tree-t... #booksky

Good news before a flight is a blessing. I hope. These are Sauúti terrors after all. Maybe a little turbulence?

The Terror is coming! We're proud to announce the upcoming publication of our 2-book anthology "Sauúti Terrors: The Dark Side" w/ Flame Tree Publishing facilitated by African Literary Agency 😱💀👻 Editors: Cheryl S. Ntumy @genni.bsky.social & @stephenembleton.bsky.social jaylit.com/flame-tree-t...

The “Mothersound” anthology is on SALE at Android Press!

It's my deepest pleasure to introduce you to Cheryl Ntumy's Ghanaian-inspired story collection Black Friday. @flametree.bsky.social, @simonschusteruk.bsky.social, @sauutiverse.bsky.social www.simonandschuster.com/books/Black-...

I'm flying high! I mean, it's so cool to see a interview and profile of me in Selamta, the inflight magazine of Ethiopian airlines, talking about my novel SHIGIDI and African speculative fiction and recommending work by @pemiaguda.bsky.social TL Huchu, and @sauutiverse.bsky.social. Check it out!

Um... wow... just discovered I'm on the BSFA award longlist! My novella Waypoint Seven, nominated for best cover & best novella, the Afro-Centered Futurisms non-fiction antho for best collection, and my @sauutiverse.bsky.social story The Heretic Harmonic for best short story! 😱😍🤩
