About this audiobook
Octavia E. Butler said, "There’s nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns."
New Suns 2 brings you fresh visions of the strange, the unexpected, the shocking—breakthrough stories, stories shining with emerging truths, stories that pierce stale preconceptions with their beauty and bravery. Like the first New Suns anthology (winner of the World Fantasy, Locus, IGNYTE, and British Fantasy awards), this book liberates writers of many races to tell us tales no one has ever told.
Many things come in twos: dualities, binaries, halves, and alternates. Twos are found throughout New Suns 2, in eighteen science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories revealing daring futures, hidden pasts, and present-day worlds filled with unmapped wonders.
Including stories by Daniel H. Wilson, K. Tempest Bradford, Darcie Little Badger, Geetanjali Vandemark, John Chu, Nghi Vo, Tananarive Due, Alex Jennings, Karin Lowachee, Saad Hossain, Hiromi Goto, Minsoo Kang, Tlotlo Tsamaase, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Malka Older, Kathleen Alcalá, Christopher Caldwell, and Jaymee Goh with a foreword by Walter Mosley and an afterword by Dr. Grace Dillon.

I didn’t enjoy all of the stories, but this collection is a way to step outside your literary comfort zone and discover new authors. Many of the stories deal with violence, discrimination, and other injustices, and some of them were just too dark for my taste. Others were told with humor and optimism. My favorite was K. Tempest Bradford’s “The Farmer’s Wife and the Faery Queen,” a sly feminist retelling of Tam Lin. The audiobook production was good, and I enjoyed the narration.
