Tananarive Due is a highly accomplished author, born in 1966, who has made significant contributions to the genres of Afrofuturism and Black Horror. She currently teaches these subjects at UCLA and has been a former Miami Herald columnist. Due's work has gained her recognition as a leading voice in Black speculative fiction, with accolades including an American Book Award, an NAACP Image Award, and a British Fantasy Award.
Among her notable works are "The Wishing Pool & Other Stories" and the upcoming "The Reformatory," which has been highly praised by Library Journal. In addition to her solo projects, Due collaborates with her husband, Steven Barnes, with whom she co-wrote "A Small Town" for "The Twilight Zone" on CBS All Access. Together, they also penned the Black Horror graphic novel "The Keeper," illustrated by Marco Finnegan, and co-host a podcast called "Lifewriting: Write for Your Life!".
