Synopsis

***Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root: Caribbean Fabulist Fiction*** is an anthology of speculative fiction by Caribbean authors, edited by Nalo Hopkinson and published by Invisible Cities Press in 2000. It was nominated for the 2001 World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology. The book features a rich and varied jumble of genres, including magical realism, ghost stories, myth and fables, and speculative/science fiction, for a unique blend of island fabulism from a mix of well-known contemporary authors, distinguished writers from earlier waves of Caribbean fiction, and many talented newcomers.
