Terese Mason Pierre's As the Earth Dreams collects speculative fiction by Black Canadian writers, exploring themes of identity, resistance, and futurity through science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The anthology showcases diverse voices reimagining Black experiences beyond historical trauma, creating worlds where Black joy, power, and possibility take center stage. The collection becomes both celebration of Black imagination and assertion that speculative fiction belongs to everyone.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Mason Pierre understands that speculative fiction is where we imagine different futures, and Black writers have been excluded from that conversation for too long. This anthology proves that Black stories can be anything, go anywhere, and that the future is richer when everyone gets to dream it.
