Read by Tananarive Due, Robin Miles, Janina Edwards

Whether weaving family life and history into dark fiction or writing speculative Afrofuturism, American Book Award winner and Essence bestselling author Tananarive Due's work is both riveting and enlightening. In her debut collection of short fiction, Due takes us to Gracetown, a small Florida town that has both literal and figurative ghost; into future scenarios that seem all too real; and provides empathetic portraits of those whose lives are touched by Otherness. Featuring an award-winning novella and fifteen stories, Ghost Summer: Stories is sure to both haunt and delight. "In these extraordinary tales, American Book Award-winner Due uses a clear-eyed view of history to explain (but never excuse) the present…[and] to explore how humans embrace transformations in ourselves and one another, even when the result is monstrous." "The author herself narrates several [stories] and is joined for the rest by practiced narrators Robin Miles and Janina Edwards…Miles and Edwards, in particular, read at a pace just leisurely enough to increase the suspense. At the end of each work, a note is included from the author with background information and her inspiration for the story."
