“The tips of my fingers have gone numb from digging.”

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.”


“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.”


“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
