![]() With deft plotting and an unforgettable climax, this tour de force reminiscent of early Anne Rice will win Due a new legion of fans. If My Soul to Keep, published in 1997, is a story about realizing you have fallen in love, married, and birthed a child of a monster, then My Soul to Take - (the 4th installment in Tananarive Dues fantastic African-Immortals series) is a story about willingly falling in love with a monster. Harrowing, engrossing and skillfully rendered, My Soul to Keep traps Jessica between the desperation of immortals who want to rob her of her life and a husband who wants to rob her of her soul. Instead, David vows to invoke a forbidden ritual to keep Jessica and his daughter with him forever. Her books include Ghost Summer: Stories, My Soul to Keep, and The Good House. She is an executive producer on Shudder's groundbreaking documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror. Now, his immortal brethren have decided David must return and leave his family in Miami. Tananarive Due (tah-nah-nah-REEVE doo) is an award-winning author who teaches Black Horror and Afrofuturism at UCLA. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never die, a secret he must protect at any cost. ![]() ![]() Yet she still feels something about him is just out of reach. When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, ever youthful. ![]()
