Description

A young Black girl finds herself trapped between desperation and her family's dark history in this horror graphic novel Aisha has suffered a devastating loss. Her parents were killed in a car crash, and now she must move to decrepit and derelict Detroit to live with her ailing grandmother. However, shortly after moving in, Aisha's grandmother's health rapidly deteriorates. With her dying breath, she summons the dark spirit that has protected their family for generations to watch over Aisha. At first it seems that this spirit, whom Aisha refers to as the Keeper, is truly doing as her grandmother asked, caring for Aisha and keeping her safe; however, it soon becomes clear that this being can only sustain itself by stealing life from others. As the Keeper begins to prey on the apartment building's other residents, Aisha and her friends must come together to destroy it . . . or die trying. Written by masters of horror Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes and illustrated by Marco Finnegan, The Keeper reflects on the horror Black Americans face every day, while still staying true to the genre.

MEGASCOPE is dedicated to show-

casing speculative and non-fiction

works by and about people of color,

with a focus on science fiction, fantasy,

horror, history, and stories of magical

realism. The megascope is a fictional

device imagined by W. E. B. Du Bois

that can peer through time and space

into other realities. This magical

invention represents the idea that so

much of our collective past has not

seen the light of day, and that there

is so much history that we have yet

to discover. MEGASCOPE will serve as

a lens through which we can broaden

our view of history, the present, and

the future, and as a method by which

previously unheard voices can find

their way to an ever-growing diverse

audience.
