Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet Gomez’s characters are rooted in historical reality yet lift seductively out of it, to trouble traditional models of family, identity, and literary genre and imagine for us bold new patterns. “The Gilda Stories was ahead of its time when it was first published in 1991, and this anniversary edition reminds us why it’s still an important novel.

“The Gilda Stories is groundbreaking not just for the wild lives it portrays, but for how it portrays them-communally, unapologetically, roaming fiercely over space and time.” “This revolutionary classic by a pioneer in black speculative fiction will delight and inspire generations to come.”
