[NEWSFLASH] The wait is finally over! All six episodes of FX's Kindred are available for streaming on Hulu. Who are you watching the landmark show with? Also, a little trivia for you...swipe left for more Kindred fun facts! This series is based on the highly acclaimed 1979 novel, also titled Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler. The novel is usually classified as science fiction, though Butler herself (in a 1991 interview with Randall Kenan in the journal Callaloo) characterized the book as fantasy rather than science fiction: "Kindred is fantasy. I mean literally, it is fantasy. There's no science in Kindred. I mean, if I was told that something was science fiction I would expect to find something dealing with science in it. For instance, Wild Seed [a later novel by Butler] is more science fiction than most people realize. The main character is dealing with medical science, but she just doesn't know how to talk about it. With Kindred there's absolutely no science involved. Not even the time travel. I don't use a time machine or anything like that. Time travel is just a device for getting the character back to confront where she came from."

#DidYouKnowThat in the epilogue of her #speculativefiction novel, #TheHandmaidsTale, @therealmargaretatwood gave a nod to the Philippines as the origin of the term “salvaging” which in the story has come to mean the execution of political enemies. Both seasons of the Emmy-nominated #booktotvadaptation of the novel are now streaming on #HBOGO.

So we loooooooooooove Nalo Hopkinson and we treasure our signed copies of Midnight Robber and Brown Girl in the Ring reminding us "walk good", and we are EXCITED to buddy read House of Whispers in February with a good friend and fellow Nalo stan.  And yall know this, but yet and still let us sleep on The Sandman on Netflix!!! The tragedy 😢.....hehe.  Did you watch The Sandman? What did you think? Images 1 to 6 reposted from @seanandrewmurray Seeing as how tonight [08/05/2022] was the debut of The Sandman on Netflix (which is so so good), I figured I would post some of the cover illustrations I did for “Sandman: The House of Whispers” a couple years ago.  I probably don’t have to tell you this, but it was an amazing honor to get to work on this series, inspired by @neilhimself ‘s incredible world and stories. House of Whispers was written by @nalohop and Dan Watters and drawn by @domostanton.  House of Whispers is about Erzulie Freda, Voodoo Goddess and [head] of The House of Dahomey. The first [1] features classic Sandman characters you might recognize, and the rest are a selection of my favorites, with the last one being the cover for issue 01 as well as the collection of issues 1-12.

Dana, this is NOT a dream!!! FX is pulling its foot in these trailers! We always found Butler’s 1979 novel centering time travel and chattel slaving highly traumatic. However, it looks like #BrandenJacobsJenkins (@Watchmen) et al recreates that trauma into a searing psychological horror.
