Inhaltsangabe

Finalist for the 2021 William L. Crawford Fantasy Award"A hypnotic near-future novella that will captivate literary and genre readers alike." Publishers Weekly"Night Roll brings home a lot of things that are wonderful about [Detroit]: the incredible diversity, the community-mindedness, and the quirky culture that has arisen out of the ashes of the post-industrial city. … I’d recommend this book for anyone who’s ever thought “Detroit? Who would ever want to live in that wasteland?” I also very much appreciate a story that centers a mother who has to deal with all the practicalities of keeping a baby alive and thriving, no matter what circumstances she finds herself in." Locus MagazineNew mother and climate refugee Aileen Dupree has been abandoned by her partner in post- industrial Detroit. Her neighbor, Virgil, is Aileen's only connection to the outside world. But then Virgil borrows Aileen's prized possession - a chrome and leather, royal blue fourteen-speed bike - and disappears. Looking for answers, Aileen hears strange stories of the Elf, a timeless being that always fought the colonizers and capitalists of Detroit, and now leads the Night Roll on a race through the city's disintegrating streets. It is up to Aileen to brave the strange magic of the Night Roll and bring Virgil back. But what can the Elf teach her about her new life? And what must she pay for that knowledge?
