Black Speculative Fiction Month Day 18, #BSFM Co-Creator Author Milton Davis

We couldn't have Black Speculative Fiction Month without it's other creator, author Milton Davis.

Milton has made himself comfy on several of our bookshelves, and has been a guest on our blog during our "Diversify Your Steampunk" event, highlighting Steampunk outside of it's default narrative.

We Welcome You To Join us for Black Speculative Fiction Month!

We at Twinja Book Reviews are constantly trying to introduce new ways to highlight diversity in books with our blog. Whether they be nationally recognized events, or events throughout the blogosphere(That may one day be recognized as national events!) we always try to take advantage of points in the year that promote diversity, especially in Fantasy and Science Fiction.

We hope that you join us for our Twinja Book Reviews hosted event: Black Speculative Fiction Month for the month of October!

Week Three of OUR Favorites, Day Four: Diversity in Fantasy Art-Fantasy, Sci Fi, & Mythologies of Alkebulan+ Ellen Oh's Prophecy/Warrior & Sarwat Chadda's The Savage Fortress/The City of Death giveaway!

Cant believe were more than half way through the week! Before you know it, we'll be revealing the theme of next week's faves!

Today we're actually highlighting a Facebook page, not the actual artists themselves. All of the artwork and imagery displayed and shared on this particular page are of Black women and men(and children too!)in speculative, sci fi, horror and fantasy settings, but it's not limited to those!

Today's Spotlight:

Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Mythologies Alkebulan 

It would be difficult to spotlight one particular piece of artwork, because the administrator of the page doesn't own the art or draw it themselves. It's part research, part submissions from those who like the page. Artists trying to promote their work, and authors pushing their imagery for character work out there.
