THE REFORMATORY by @tananarivedue.bsky.social is honestly one of my favourite novels of the last few years -- it grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go. Even now, I still find myself thinking about it... if you haven't read it -- or anything by Due -- then you need to do so right now.

Good morning. It is day 94 of Women In Horror Year, and we turn our attention to @tananarivedue.bsky.social's The Reformatory, and examine why this book is still going to hit readers right between the eyes thirty years from now. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Finished it yesterday. Truly spectacular! I watched this discussion with the author @tananarivedue.bsky.social and @smashfizzle.bsky.social immediately afterward and was even more impressed with the research and care involved. @epereza22.blacksky.app www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPAL...

Just in case y'all haven't heard, there's an email phishing attack going around where you get an e-invitation from someone you know. This week I've gotten two from faux @tananarivedue.bsky.social and one from faux Jim Frenkel of all people. Email the person to double check!

Saw that @tananarivedue.bsky.social posted yesterday so wanted to give my @netgalley.bsky.social review. I live in So. California and let me tell you how engrossed I became in this novel. While reading about a protagonist's struggle in the snow…I got chills. Not “horror” chills - chills chills (1/3)

Interesting look at likely the most pivotal year of the American Revolution. Disappointed that it focused only on military action and the politics of attack, siege and defense. The issuing of the Declaration of Independence gets only two pages. #booksky 💙📚 #history #america250

Randolph (Randy) Mantooth - Johnny Gage on the series "Emergency!" - has died. I am sad. So grateful that Steve bought me a Vouch video greeting from him just a few years ago, and he'd told Randy that I was a horror writer who wrote "Emergency!" fan fiction as a child to nurture my writing skills.

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

These Maine librarians are helping patrons resist AI and Big Tech

Despite breathless reporting on how AI is going to change the world, Hannah Cyrus, a Bangor librarian, said that, in her experience, most library patrons aren’t finding it helpful.

So excited to have a new novelette in here - BATTLE OF THE ROUND HOUSE! (Very loosely based on family history, but set in the Old West!) A young Black girl with telepathic powers faces the adventure of a lifetime when her family tries to find a magical ranch while being chased by bounty hunters.

I curated a new Amazon Original Stories Collection called MAGIC & MYSTERY, with stories by: @robertjbennett.bsky.social @travisbaldree.bsky.social @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social @scottlynch78.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social, Heather Fawcett & J.M. Miro Out July 28! amzn.to/4gjGIDF

Magic & Mystery: an Amazon Original Stories Collection. A cat's face with eyes glowing with pink and white magic. Below it are seven book covers, described below. "Miss Gentle and the Case of the Very Flat Monk" by Travis Baldree: A figure in armor with a full closed helmet stands in the foreground, with a tall stone bell tower behind it. Purple magical energy swirls around a collection of trinkets hanging from the figure's neck. "The Lion's Tusk" by Robert Jackson Bennett: A stained-glass window depicts two finely dressed medieval nobles clasping hands, one holding a bouquet. "Battle of the Round House" by Tananarive Due: A figure in a wide-brimmed hat stands beneath a wooden gate at sunset, facing an enormous cloud in the sky in the shape of a bull's head. "The Wednesday Witches Book Club" by Sarah Beth Durst: A white teapot with flowers and a cat etched onto it pours tea into a similarly-decorated teacup. In the background are shelves filled with books. "A Labyrinth of Honeybees" by Heather Fawcett: A large honeybee with maze-like markings on its abdomen hovers above a garden. "The Wizard Who Kept Himself Suspicious" by Scott Lynch: A wizard with a long white beard stands waist-deep in water. He's holding a wooden staff and wearing a pointed wizard hat; on the had are several small trees as if his hat is an island, and some waterfalls cascade off the brim of it. "The Carindale Orphan" by J.M. Miro: A stout man wearing a bowler hat and overcoat walks beside a young boy down a dark Victorian-era cobblestone alley.

I just randomly remembered this book exists. Adding it to my wishlist for my birthday. Sleepy Hollow was my favorite show until Nicole Beharie left, and hearing about why... yeah, the title seems apt

Howww can I do class prep today when I just got a copy of Maureen Ryan’s BURN IT DOWN? — complete with matches! *flipping straight to the chapter on “Sleepy Hollow”* I spoke to her about how painful it was to watch the demise of my fave horror series. Also, this title is a WHOLE MOOD.

Short filmmakers: what was the budget of your latest film and how did you raise the $$? We got backing from a Japanese streamer called Samansa for THE KEEPER, close to six figures, but previously we crowdfunded DANGER WORD for $30,000. I also shot a short on my iPhone for about $50.
