Sheree Rene Thomas, Nine Bar Blues and the World Fantasy Award-winning anthologies, Dark Matter About the Author Rone Shavers is a writer who publishes in multiple genres. Reminiscent of Percival, Harryette, Ishamel, and Ralph Ellison himself, this is an experimental novel you must read. Steven Dunn, author of Potted Meat and water and power Part incantation, revelation, and elegy, Rone Shavers Silverfish offers a surprising New World, Du Boisian source code. Youre in for a treat, Reader/Elegba/Hermes/Alternate Being. It has also left me with big questions that dont necessarily have answers, but requires an intense process of thought and being, in order to come close to some answers. Review Quotes Silverfish has left me with big feelings that I need to sit with and explore.

Part prophecy, part literary collage, and part social justice remix, its a wholly immersive, intertextual sojourn. Book Synopsis Silverfish is a syncretic tour-de-force that rbines elements of Afrofuturism, sci-fi, and wartime fiction with linguistic and literary theories to issue a dire warning about what happens when we choose to pretend our past never happened, thereby ensuring that we stumble blindly into a future weve already lived.
