it's HAPPENING! I've revealed the subject of my next book and it's YES of course, it's a deep dive into #BattlestarGalactica! For that news and a few thoughts on the #BSG convention that just took place, read this! 💚🔥 www.moryan.com/its-official...

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

No you did not. 🤬

If you are going to pick up a book this fall make it @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Reformatory”. Incredibly written. Draws you in with raw and gut wrenching storytelling that reminds us all of the strength in telling our stories — not just for us but for all of those whose voices were silenced.

This week's Friday review on AKGnetmouse.substack.com will be of Freedom in the Family, by @tananarivedue.bsky.social and her mother, Civil Rights activist Patricia Stephens Due. I cherish my copy, which Tananarive kindly signed at Detcon1 in 2014.

OMG 😘😘😘😘

😘😘😘

I heard that name "Robinson" - then I saw the photo.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I was lucky enough to attend a screening and it was a wild ride! So fun and imaginative. Congrats @bryanfuller.bsky.social!!!

Everytime someone tells me something like “I’m proud you stand up for what you believe in…” I always think to myself — My ancestors survived the genocide of the Spanish conquest, the slave trade, the invasion of the U.S., theft of their land, more. They survived all that, I can survive words.

My @copperdogbooks.bsky.social haul. I was so excited to not only snag the last copy of Moonflow by @bitterkarella.bsky.social but to also find a signed copy of one of my favorite @tananarivedue.bsky.social books!

❤️

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

These electric bills are like rent payments but ok

This new anthology based in the world of @stephenking.bsky.social's THE STAND has a killer list of contributors. @kundalinisteve.bsky.social & I are thrilled to have a short story in here—“The Boat Man.” A plague and the fall of civilization are striking a nerve with readers. Gee...I wonder why. 🤔

An amazing collection of new horror short stories. And a great way to revisit the world of The Stand. @richardchizmar.bsky.social @catrionaward.bsky.social Michael Koryta @almakatsu.bsky.social S. A. Cosby @rioyouers.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social and @kundalinisteve.bsky.social

I read both MY SOUL TO KEEP and THE LIVING BLOOD as a teenager*, and they completely rocked my world. I'd definitely recommend them to ppl who love African-inspired speculative fiction. *My parents were/are extremely cool and didn't object to my reading books w sex scenes in them.

“My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece & lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him & his legacy proud. The nation’s health security is at risk & is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest.” Dr. Daskalakis, CDC immunization director

Review of THE LIVING BLOOD 😍😍 (Thread)

Wowwwwwww 😍

Just had the most delightful #losersbookclub discussion with @tananarivedue.bsky.social about her brilliant tale of magic and healing and generational curses THE GOOD HOUSE. It’s phenomenal!!!!

I adore this book, which was my first introduction to @tananarivedue.bsky.social. And the new cover is breathtaking.

😍😍😍 And I LOVE Violent Night!!!

That was fun!!! 😍😍😍

I can’t believe I finally met @tananarivedue.bsky.social yesterday more than five years after being part of her speculative fiction cohort at VONA! It was during COVID so everything was virtual. Also picked up a copy of her latest, the reformatory!

😘😘🫙

“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Next to "The Reformatory," my favourite of all time @tananarivedue.bsky.social novel is "The Good House," which is indeed terrifying, and ti has a new cover for the reissue!

Steve and I have a new short story in here set in Key West after the Tripz. (With a Haitian American protagonist.) The list of contributors is UNREAL. L.A. - Don't miss our author signing at @skylightbooks.bsky.social at 7p August 19 with Catriona Ward, David J. Schow and Sarah Langan. Come thru!

***squeeeeeeeee*** One of my readers' favorite novels has just been reissued with this AMAZING cover designed by Rachel Ake. If you loved THE REFORMATORY, this is the novel I used to say is my scariest. You be the judge!

CONGRATS to @nuzo.bsky.social & Dead Sky Publishing on the release of THE FAKE GHOST! Onoh is known as "The Queen of African Horror." Hurry & get your copy now from all good retail shops or download your ebook for a great #summer read!"

Pretty much.

Every time @thenation.com publishes the writing of Lujayn, a teen in the Gaza Strip, I hold my breath while reading. If you read one thing today, make it this: "Don’t you dare preach “child protection” to our children while they are bombed and starved in front of the whole world."

Me when a character in a horror movie convinces someone to believe them about the uncanny.

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Confession: I was today years old when I heard about "Nicolandria" on Love Island. www.cnn.com/2025/08/16/e...

Today's book haul is *chef's kiss!* @tananarivedue.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social

#BookishQOTD my favorite spooky read reccomendations are definitely The Devil Takes You Home by @gabino.bsky.social and The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social #qotd #QOTD #booksky💙📚
