“Radical AFROFuturism” is a spinoff of the more popular known AFROFuturism science fiction  genre. In the recently released, The AFROFuturist Bible: Creation by Stafford L Battle, a mysterious, unnamed preacher claims that  new holy scriptures based on Radical AFROFuturism will transcend existing spiritual beliefs and bring peace to all people regardless of culture or race. Faithful followers believe he is a supernatural evangelist with magical powers. Enemies fear he is a dangerous alien demon only seeking profit and human souls. This work of speculative fiction explores the complexities of faith and realism. Are religion/mythology the same? Who and what should we believe in? Is this the end of times that many people are wishing for?

Using AFROFuturism themes, Battle takes a satirical and damning look at our most cherished social systems. The e-Book is available Free on Friday, February 17, 2023, on Amazon for five days only. Don’t miss it. Tell your social network. 

According to Kirkus Reviews:  "Battle’s compact tale is often humorous and occasionally cryptic. The narrator, for example, merely hints that he knows Jesus and has mingled with gods; he even mentions his supernatural powers, like teleportation, in passing. The author hits on serious topics, namely racism. But much of the story is tongue-in-cheek; the evangelical narrator declares that beer and wine are “some of the greatest human innovations,” and he travels with a handy “Red Casket” that carries everything from his manuscript to cold drinks and a powerful gem. Battle’s lyrical prose further elevates the text, with delightful alliteration in abundance—Nubia seemingly warns her lover of “deep dark demon doo-doo you can’t slither out of.” Although a sequel seems feasible, a couple of “holy commandments” at the end sum up this book’s positive spin. A succinct, funny, and generally upbeat tale about race, religion, and unity.? 

The OnlineBookClub offered:  "The book was well-written, and the writing style employed by the author made the narrative flow seamlessly. The characters were not numerous, and because of this, I was not disturbed by the burden of memorizing several names that might have brought about confusion. The book was flawlessly edited, as I noted no grammar or spelling errors. For these reasons, I'm glad to rate this book 4 out of 4 stars." 

The AFROFuturist Bible is available on Amazon.
