This is a stunning anthology. The remembrances of Octavia Butler brought tears to my eyes, and her reprinted story "Speech Sounds" felt all the more meaningful in this context, of a world where speech is a thing envied and hated: a precious thing all the more to be nurtured.
This is full of deeply powerful stories: creepy, moving, affirming. Zombies, aliens, steampunk and magic as you'd expect in an sf anthology, and very much not as you'd expect. Imagery from "My Love Will Never Die", "Dancing in the Shadow of the Once", "/sit", and "The Saltwater African" will linger in my mind for a long time. A couple of others went over my head, in a way which I know will at some point bear rereading.
