Afrofuturism Stories

Cain Makala sees threads of energy that connect everything and everyone, a legacy from a father he never knew, considered the greatest bioterrorist in the world. Lucca Nichiga compulsively draws the same patterns: portraits of the fabric of reality that he cannot decipher. Two young people, two fragments of the same mystery, separated until Xiamtec, the corporation that governs behind the governments, puts them in the same target. Fleeing is just the beginning. In a Brazil taken over by corporate fascism, they discover that the webs are bridges to ancestral entities: the Orixás are not mythology, and their return could undo the world. One sees in light. The other, in graphite. Together, they are the only key.

Their futures don't match. Their touch breaks time. Their love might end the world.

After losing a battle with an unknown force, Savannah Melbourne finds herself alone in a world very much different, yet eerily similar to one she's left behind.

Nigeria, year 2112. Bola wakes up in a lab, with only memories from the moments before his presumed death. Intended to be used as a weapon by the government, his modified body (and mind) is subjected to experiments. Outside the lab, the government is still as corrupt as ever and there is unrest. Only a guild of journalists stand between the people and insanity. What happens when they discover an undocumented secret lab and the even more secret Bola?

Noir Hound is the kind of man you whisper about but never see coming. Clad in a vantablack damask tracksuit and driving a weaponized vintage Duesenberg, he's the owner of elite businesses by day-assassin of dishonor by night. He's not just taking out mafia bosses who broke the old codes; he's rewriting the rules of power, pleasure, and vengeance. With a circle of galactic Black women who move like shadows and strike like lightning, Noir is on a mission deeper than revenge-one steeped in ancient codes, ancestral secrets, and the art of leisure as rebellion. For Noir, killing isn't the job. It's the intermission between cigars, symphonies, and seduction.

Mae Adesina should've died in the crash-but fate had other plans. Now, with fractured memories and a burning sense of injustice, she's reinvented herself: electric-blue highlights, sharper instincts, and a secret life as a NetRunner, an underground operative trained to expose what powerful systems bury. When the elusive antihero organization offers Mae a scholarship to an elite Lagos boarding school-prestigious on the surface, but secretly their training ground-she finds herself face-to-face with the very network she's meant to infiltrate: NexusNet. It's the tech empire rewriting minds, histories, and maybe even her own. But to defeat a system designed to control everything, Mae can't just play their game. She must break it. To protect the truth, honor her mother's legacy, and confront the lies that built her world, Mae will have to make the ultimate move: log off.

SNACKS Paranormal/ Sci Fi/Thriller "Infectious disease is merely a disagreeable instance of a widely prevalent tendency of all living creatures to save themselves the bother of building by their own efforts, the things they require. Whenever they find it possible to take advantage of the constructive labors of others, this is the path of least resistance." Rats, Lice and History, Hans Zinsser (1935) A smart, hip farmer in Southern California becomes infected by parasites from three strange soil-filled meteors on his property. The microscopic insect-like beings are highly intelligent and attracted to the biological chemicals produced by humans with vices.

Silence is a lie. The Grit is the truth. ​In the year of Grand Hygiene, the Union has achieved the impossible: a world without friction. They call it "The Flow"-a seamless, emerald-tinted reality where history is edited in real-time and human souls are "lumped" into sterile data points. But beneath the vitrified glass of the Spires, the ancestors are still humming. Aaliyah is a digital ghost living in the red-clay shadows of the Salt-Ache. While the Union broadcasts a frequency of perfect order, she hears the 40Hz Bone-Script-a forbidden resonance vibrating in her very marrow. It is the sound of suppressed history, of a world that was never meant to be "cleaned." When she discovers the Wreckage Files, Aaliyah realizes the Union isn't just managing the future; they are harvesting the past. To stop the total erasure of her people, she must leave the safety of the shadows and perform a "Source Point Eject"-shattering the Union's architecture from the inside out. The war for the future won't be won with bullets or code. It will be won through Somatic Sovereignty. As Aaliyah's body becomes the ultimate conductor for the Rupture, she faces a devastating choice: stay a "Signal" within the Union's safe, emerald dream, or become the "Source" that burns the circuit forever. The history isn't written in books anymore. It's braided in the bone. ​[What's Inside] Somatic AfroFuturism: A fresh take on the genre where biology and frequency are the primary technologies.

On the threshold between dystopian reality and speculative nightmare, Makala is a reading experience that combines the visceral tension of Orange Is the New Black, the biotechnological horror of Ex Machina, and the afrofuturist social critique of N.K. Jemisin. Jemisin. Luiza Moradi, a Brazilian doctor of Iranian descent, has her bright future in emerging disease research interrupted during a layover at Los Angeles airport. For carrying a "suspicious" name, she is torn from the real world and thrown into an immigrant detention center, where humans are reduced to numbers and treated as tools. With Luiza is also João Pedro Makala, a programr who refused to accept the American dream, but for that reason, was also devoured by the system. While they struggle to survive the violence and dehumanization, the duo discovers that the camp is not just a holding place for unwanted immigrants, but the secret laboratory of a biotech megacorporation. Between the desperate need to escape and the struggle to maintain sanity, Luiza and Makala find themselves at the center of a conspiracy that transcends the physical boundary of the camp. With the help of other prisoners, including the Angolan Kafuxi, who carries the ancestral strength of Exu, they must confront not only the horror of what they are becoming but also the calculating coldness of a system that considers them disposable. MAKALA is a dive into biotechnological horror, into structural racism that wears a white coat, and into afrofuturism that finds strength even in the dark cell. And for those who know that sometimes the name that must not be spoken is the only one that keeps us alive.
