""Errick Nunnally is a voice and storyteller you do not want to sleep on. This heartfelt novella gives you a deep experience of the otherworldly and the reality of being a black youth and man in America. Every moment of this book touched me in different ways, but I loved it all the same."" --V. Castro, author of The Haunting of Alejandra and Goddess of Filth ""It's a 1970s coming-of-age story unlike anything I've read, focused on a 12-into-13 year old whose parents were involved in a group similar to the Black Panther party. The mother is an artist who indulges her son's love of fantasy, SF, and comics and who maintains a fantastical story about being the dethroned queen of Saturn. She calls her son 'my prince.' It's a beautiful, elegant fantasy in a life where growing up Black in Boston is sometimes frightening and even dangerous, especially with the enemies his parents made a decade before. But when his first sexual experiences are truly bizarre, and strange white men begin to spy on his family, the newly teenaged Sean is forced to wonder if there's more truth to his mother's fantasy than he could ever have imagined."" --Christopher Golden, author of Road of Bones ""Drawn with wintry, coming-of-age affection, Errick Nunnally's The Queen of Saturn and the Prince of Exile is an intimate tale of personal sovereignty reclaimed and birthright restored. Here at the kitchen table, the love and deeply rooted energy of Black liberation is shared from mother to son. With this story at our fingertips and before the violences of our world, we are all invited as sojourners and witnesses to this realm."" --L. E. Daniels, Bram Stoker Award(R) finalist, author of Serpent's Wake: A Tale for the Bitten ""Nunnally masterfully draws us into this mesmerizing coming of age story of a Black child whose mother tells him she's from another planet, while seamlessly folding in the struggle against discrimination. I couldn't stop reading as the mystery of his mother is unveiled at the same time as the horrific impact of racism wrecks their lives."" --Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and SFPA Grand Master ""Errick Nunnally has established himself as a powerful voice within the Afrofuturism canon and gifted us with an emotionally charged, uniquely American coming of age story. I can't recommend this book enough."" --Michelle Renee Lane, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of Invisible Chains ""Gods, monsters, and comic books of 1970s America, and a family in the scope of the powers that be--I was instantly enthralled. Nunnally is a real talent."" --Laird Barron, author of Not a Speck of Light
