Hi friends 👋🏻 Happy Black History Month and happy October! This year, I wanted to do something different for Spooky Month, by tying it into Black History Month, so my TBR for this year is only Black authors and my watchlist will be as many movies by Black directors that I haven’t seen before. This is something that I decided I would do earlier in the year, and now that it’s here, I’m excited to be exploring Black Horror more than I have before. Just a little disclaimer for anyone who’s confused about why I’m talking about Black History Month: Black History Month takes place in October in the UK, not February. It’s celebrated in February in the USA because it coincides with the births of two figures who are important in Black American history: Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. In the UK, we chose October because that is traditionally when African chiefs and leaders would gather to settle their differences. It also started in 1987, which was the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the Caribbean. the reformatory by tananarive due This one is my current read!
