Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology: Issue V is worth your time and money. The editors have done fabulous work selecting pieces which will entertain, transport, and engage readers. I will be looking for some of these authors, eager to see what else they do; and I hope to read more anthologies by these editors in the future—they have good taste in fiction!

-Arley Sorg, Lightspeed Magazine

Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology: Issue V narrates the current generation’s fears, hopes, and dreams, and presents them wrapped up within tales of the fantastical like banana leaves.

About

From across the African continent and its diaspora, Will This Be A Problem? Issue V brings together a powerful collection of stories that blend the fantastical with the deeply real. These tales explore the enduring history of colonialism, capitalism, and marginalization while grappling with present concerns like climate change and artificial intelligence. Yet, amidst these weighty themes, the anthology also offers moments of much-needed escapism into worlds of magic, myth, and the unknown.

This anthology features familiar names such as Shingai Kagunda, Yvette Lisa Ndlovu, Gabrielle Emem Harry, Victor Forna and Rutendo Chidzodzo. It also features returning voices to Will This Be A Problem?, Peter Nena, Kevin Rigathi, and Andrew Dakalira. And there are many new and emerging names, each bringing a unique storytelling perspective to the collection.

Defiant, illuminating and terrifying, Will This Be A Problem? Issue V presents some of the finest speculative fiction you will find anywhere.
