Finished #TheBalladOfBlackTom by @victorlavalle.bsky.social this morning. I finished it in just over 24hours. It was so good!
Started #RingShout by @pdjeliclark.bsky.social this morning too.
Taking a break from the expanse series. They are a slog and I have a goal to get to.
The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor Lavalle
A novella that really packs a punch with its creepy 1920s NYC setting

The Ballad of Black Tom is a superb title for #BlackBookSky and #Blackhistorymonth. Author Victor LaValle's entry to the Cthulhu mythos is a fantastic read.

It follows the story of Charles Tester, a Black man living in Harlem during the 1920s. He struggles with poverty, racism, and a lack of opportunity.

The writing was rich and blended cosmic horror with historical fiction. I felt at home when he was talking about different places around #NewYork
