The Ballad of Black Tom is a superb title for #BlackBookSky and #Blackhistorymonth. Author Victor LaValle's entry to the Cthulhu mythos is a fantastic read.

"The best writing deadlines are poverty and death." --Misattributed to Victor LaValle (1972- ) No source can be found #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #victorlavalle #misattributions Source: I could not verify this line in a primary source such as a LaValle novel, essay, interview, speech, or official website. It appears widely on quote-aggregation sites, but those listings do not provide a traceable original source. The quote turns two grim realities into a dark joke about motivation. Its point is that writing often gets done not when conditions are ideal, but when pressure becomes unavoidable. Poverty represents material necessity, and death represents the ultimate deadline no one can negotiate with. The humor works because it strips away romantic ideas about the writing life and replaces them with something harsher and more honest: urgency often accomplishes what inspiration alone does not. The line reflects the uneasy relationship between creativity and survival. Writers often imagine they need perfect time, calm, and freedom before they can produce good work, but real life rarely grants those luxuries. This quote suggests that necessity can sharpen focus more effectively than comfort ever will. Even without a verified source, the line sticks because it captures a truth many writers recognize: the blank page tends to lose arguments when real pressure starts breathing down its neck.

Day Two of my black book highlight series is Lone Women by Victor Lavalle. This book opened up a whole new world for me and turned me into a bonafide lover of the historical horror subgenre. (And I am ALWAYS looking for recs in this area so if you’ve got em, drop them below!)

It follows the story of Charles Tester, a Black man living in Harlem during the 1920s. He struggles with poverty, racism, and a lack of opportunity.
