The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington, by Phenderson Djèlí Clark

The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George WashingtonThe Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington by P. Djèlí Clark

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This story is structured as a fantasy history done in vignettes, and is based in historical research. I really like these kind of stories, they are perfect for short fiction and give that atmosphere of authority to a story that makes it extra entertaining. This one is excellent, and I think it's a contender for the Nebula and the Hugo for sure.
