Trouble the Waters Tales from the Deep Blue

In this haunting and imaginative new volume, speculative fiction authors from around the globe explore the power, mystery, and majesty of water. From Lagos to New Orleans, Reykjavik to Beijing, new and celebrated writers tell us how water, ancient and dangerous, precious and fragile, takes startling new forms. In these hallucinatory short stories, water reveals itself as teacher, lover, goddess, and monster; music, treasure, danger, and medicine. Listen to the magic of water as writers such as Andrea Hairston, Nalo Hopkinson, Rion Amilcar Scott, Christopher Caldwell, among others, illuminate for us the source of all life.
