AN ENTHRALLING COLLECTION OF NEW AND CLASSIC TALES OF THE FEARSOME DJINN, FROM BESTSELLING, AWARD-WINNING AND BREAKTHROUGH INTERNATIONAL WRITERS

Imagine a world filled with fierce, fiery beings, hiding in our shadows, in our dreams, under our skins. Eavesdropping and exploring; tormenting us, saving our souls. They are monsters, saviours, victims, childhood friends.

And they are everywhere. On street corners, behind the wheel of a taxi, in the chorus, between the pages of books. Every language has a word for them. Every culture knows their traditions. Every religion, every history has them hiding in their dark places.

There is no part of the world that does not know them. They are the djinn.

With stories from Neil Gaiman, Nnedi Okorafor, Amal El-Mohtar, Catherine Faris King, Claire North, E. J. Swift, Hermes (trans. Robin Moger), Jamal Mahjoub, James Smythe, Neon Yang, Kamila Shamsie, Kirsty Logan, K. J. Parker, Kuzhali Manickavel, Maria Dahvana Headley, Monica Byrne, Saad Hossain, Sami Shah, Sophia Al-Maria and Usman Malik.
