Spanning virtual worlds, haunted cities, and dystopian futures, the stories in this collection follow characters facing impossible conditions in their relentless pursuit of freedom and pleasure.
In “Drapetomania,” a mysterious epidemic causes Black people to run uncontrollably until their bodies give out, transforming a racist 19th-century pseudoscientific diagnosis into a chilling meditation on escape, exhaustion, and collective grief; in “Return Doors,” a couple’s unraveling coincides with the appearance of portals visible only to Black people; in “The Armillary Sphere,” a boy travels to Seoul to undergo a procedure that allows him to glimpse the future and relive the past; in “Lifeblood,” a woman seeks gender euphoria in a virtual reality under the watchful eye of a sinister corporation.
Electrifying and radically inventive, Black Star Line channels both blistering rage and profound tenderness, mapping the fragile, queer, ecstatic, and often perilous possibilities that emerge when we dare to imagine beyond the constraints of the present.
