    Best of Lifewriting - Tananarive's novel The Reformatory - Turning Heartache to Horror
    Jan 4 2025
    Tananarive spent more than seven years working on her new novel, THE REFORMATORY, which was inspired by true-life family history about her great-uncle Robert Stephens and the Dozer School for Boys in Marianna, FL. In this podcast, she and Steve talk about why it took so long to write, the Lifewriting tools she used to complete it, and how she's fighting to stay centered in the whirlwind of her book's publication.

    Dec 24 2024
    In this episode, Tananarive interviews horror author/screenwriter Clay McLeod Chapman about his upcoming novel, WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES -- which was blurbed by Jordan Peele and is about a deadly political spell cast over the nation. (Sounds familiar!) He and Tananarive also talk about his start as an author, how he first met Jordan Peele, and the search for hope in writing and reading horror.

  • A Tribute to Candyman Star Tony Todd (And an interview from 2017!)

    A Tribute to Candyman Star Tony Todd (And an interview from 2017!)
    Dec 17 2024
    Tananarive and Steve were devastated by the death of Candyman star Tony Todd in November of 2024. (He also co-starred in their "Fugue State" story in the Shudder/AMC+ anthology film Horror Noire.) His death inspired them to unearth an interview they did with Todd as a part of their online digital download course The Sunken Place, a history of Black Horror. In this rare interview, Todd talks about his tough childhood, the aunt who raised him, his theater roots...and becoming Candyman. Don't miss it! The full course (which also includes an interview with Jordan Peele) can be found at www.sunkenplaceclass.com.

Great content from 2 of my favorite authors!

Just finished listening to the episode with Reginald Hudlin. They have the coolest guests . The conversation let's us see behind the showbiz curtain but also gives good advice for aspring writers/artists. Love it!
