Otherworldly interference in real-world New York City? Or delusions? For the answer, follow two loving strangers in an astonishing short story of faith and hope by a World Fantasy Award winner.

Grimace is a homeless man on a holy mission to free Black Americans from emotional slavery. His empty soda cans told him as much. Then he meets Kim, a transgender runaway who joins Grimace on his heroic quest. Is Grimace receiving aluminum missives from the gods, or is he a madman? Kim will find out soon enough on a strange journey they’ve been destined to share.

Victor LaValle’s We Travel the Spaceways is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

The story held my attention and made me think of what my life would be like as a homeless person but to a certain extent I was able to understand the characters. I’m not homeless but we’re both always in survival mode waiting to go home

I have heard a few good narrators on Audible and Bryan Tyree Henry does not disappoint. Homelessness is a very serious issue but this story won't leave a listener overwhelmed with the fact of the issue/ problem.

I wish there was more!

I was drawn into this story with all the compassion I possess, hoping for a better life. Wishing life wasn’t what it was. Glad to find out there was better, willful excepting the destruction that happened. Mostly thrilled for the survival and ascension.

I got goosebumps!
