Books

Correction:

I said that the Black mermaid/water story anthology edited by Sheree Renée Thomas was called Tales from the Deep. It is actually called Trouble the Waters and is edited by Shree Renée Thomas, Pan Morigan, and Troy L. Wiggins.

Stories Discussed:

• “Shift” in Nalo Hopkinson’s Report from Planet Midnight

• “The Living Infinite” in Nana Nkweti’s Walking on Cowrie Shells

• “Scales” in Kinitra Brooks (editor) Sycorax’s Daughters

• Erin E. Adams, “Lasiren”

On this weeks episode, I give my mid-season review of House of Dragons!

Show Reviewed: Season Two of House of the Dragon on HBO
