Happy publication day to The Wishing Pool and Other Stories by Tananarive Due!✨

If you know me, then you know that Tananarive Due is my favorite author of all time, so I could not wait to read her newest short story collection and I really enjoyed it! I loved that so many of the stories connected to her previous books! We get to revisit Gracetown & a few other stories from Ghost Summer and read a story that was related to her graphic novel, The Keeper. It was exciting to revisit those stories! I also enjoyed the mention of the reformatory from Tananarive Due’s upcoming novel👀

Some of my favorite stories were The Biographer, Haint in the Window, Rumpus Room, and Migration! I will say that several of the stories felt incomplete to me. I think some of the stories should’ve been longer and could’ve had a more fleshed out ending, but overall I really enjoyed this collection! Tananarive Due never disappoints!
