Black Arts

(2026)
A collection of stories by

 
 
The very first story collection from the critically acclaimed, visionary author of the novels Lakewood, The Women Could Fly, and Meet Me at the Crossroads.

Over three genre-busting, truly unique novels, Megan Giddings has established herself as one of the most celebrated and inspiring authors at work today. Outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Minneapolis Star-Tribune have consistently singled her out as a writer who takes risks, defies convention, and introduces us to characters who pull at our heartstrings while making us think deeply about such vital topics as race, community care, and women’s rights. Her work has been compared to those of Jordan Peele, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Octavia Butler, yet her voice is singular and distinctive.

Now, at long last, she presents us with a story collection that shows even more the breadth and sophistication of her talent. Over the course of ten stories, we navigate complex family relationships, romances both troubled and charmed, and, of course, events that straddle the supernatural and the all-too-real. Funny, poignant, exquisitely-rendered, and deeply moving, the stories in Black Arts further establish Megan Giddings as one of our most eagle-eyed and groundbreaking literary talents.
