About this product
Product Information
In Reconstruction, award-winning writer and musician Johnson delineates the lives of those trodden underfoot by the powerful, and how they rise up. Meet the humans who serve a coterie of vampires in Hawai'i, explore the taxonomy of anger with Black Union soldiers and the woman who travels with them during the American Civil War. Consider what you would give up for a better life in a place that you have never been. Johnson maps the people in these and other, stranger landscapes.

Reviews
"The first story in this collection, the Nebula award-winning 'A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai'i,' opens in a prison where vampire conquerors imprison humans to feast upon. Key is a human caretaker doing what she can to survive in a world where hope and integrity are seemingly impossible. This theme of resilience in inhumane conditions continues throughout the collection. In the title story 'Reconstruction' -- one of two stories original to the collection -- Sally uses her grandmother's spells to help protect a Black Civil War regiment while meditating on anger. These ten immersive stories embrace multiple speculative genres and take place in worlds both real and unreal. Much like Lovecraft Country, the stories combine horror and fantastical elements with anti-racist themes." -- Margaret Kingsbury, Buzzfeed "Johnson breaks down genre boundaries, combining elements of fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and horror, in settings ranging from the historical and familiar to the wildly imaginative. Unified by Johnson's sensuous prose, these stories will delight existing fans and serve as an excellent introduction for those new to Johnson's work."-- Publishers Weekly Praise for Alaya Dawn Johnson's books: "Juju assassins, alternate history, a gritty New York crime story...in a word: Awesome." -- N.K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season "Great, fresh audacity." -- Entertainment Weekly "Like leaping into cold water on a hot day, this original dystopian novel takes the breath away, refreshes, challenges, and leaves the reader shivering but yearning for another plunge." -- Booklist , starred review "Compelling." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "An art project, a rebellion and a sacrifice make up this nuanced, original cyberpunk adventure. . . . Luminous." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This book will steal your heart!" -- Marika McCoola, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA, "The first story in this collection, the Nebula award-winning 'A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai'i,' opens in a prison where vampire conquerors imprison humans to feast upon.

While the worlds are themselves fascinating, the true success of Johnson's stories lies in the careful crafting of their vibrant emotional cores." -- Booklist "Johnson breaks down genre boundaries, combining elements of fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and horror, in settings ranging from the historical and familiar to the wildly imaginative.
