Tananarive Due

Tananarive Due is an American author known for horror, science fiction, and speculative fiction exploring Black history and identity, including the African Immortals series and My Soul to Keep. She has won an American Book Award and multiple NAACP Image Awards, and teaches Black horror and Afrofuturism at UCLA. In this catalogue she appears only as one of thirteen contributors to Naked Came the Manatee (1996), a round-robin novel serialized in the Miami Herald's Tropic magazine, with each chapter written by a different South Florida crime writer, including Edna Buchanan, Carl Hiaasen, and Dave Barry -- a novelty project reflecting the tight-knit Miami crime-writing scene of the era rather than her own speculative-fiction body of work, which sits outside this catalogue's scope.
