Reviews for “Soul Food”
“In Harmon’s piece, the protagonist summons the Crossroads Man in a last-ditch attempt to save their grandmother’s life. The price? A prized family recipe for candied yams. But it’s more than just some side dish.”
- "Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: October 2025", Reactor Magazine
“What I really appreciate about this story is the way it shows the true value of a recipe for a dish that isn’t just divinely tasty, but carries an incalculable weight of memories, family history, and love.”
- Recommended story in "Fiyah, Flash Fiction Online, and GigaNotoSaurus: Review by Maria Haskins", Locus Magazine
“It's a beautiful and moving story that works in a little food, a little magic, and a whole lot of heart. It really picks at this delicate and painful moment and explores it” - Charles Payseur
