The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez
A Black lesbian woman freed from bondage in the nineteenth century acquires immortality and moves through decades of American life, forming chosen families, romantic relationships, and communities while confronting racism, sexism, and homophobia; the novel traces her life across time as she reinvents herself, practices caregiving and collective survival, encounters other supernatural beings, and reclaims narrative power—using vampire lore as a lens to explore identity, desire, resilience, and the possibilities of love and solidarity across generations.
