Following three generations of East New Yorkers; a debut, coming-of-age novel that mixes magical realism and the Southern Gothic--for readers of Jesmyn Ward and Jamel Brinkley.

Taking place over thirty years, We Are a Haunting follows a family of East New Yorkers struggling to maintain a connection to their history. Grandma Audrey, herself a living ancestor among the speaking dead, is about to lose her apartment; her indelible and vivacious daughter Key dies young after serving the Black women of her neighborhood, leaving behind a grieving son, Colly, who holds deep-seated disdain for a community to which he has no choice but to be accountable.

Going back to the '80s, we see Key's life consisting of nightclubs and enchantment. While training as a doula, she discovers that for her, the dead are much closer than expected and learns how to speak both to and for them, forming a connection between passed and living family members. After her death, Colly soon discovers that he shares the same sacred gift his mother had.

His expulsion from school forces Colly across town, where he forges an understanding of how friendship, family, and community foster love in places where it may seem inherently and systemically impossible. After college, Colly returns to East New York to work with community organizers addressing structural neglect and the crumbling NYCHA blocks; to do what he can for the people that mean the most to him.

With a singular combination of urban fiction, the supernatural, and social critique, Tyriek White depicts the palpable, breathing essence of outer borough New York City with lyricism and deep significance.

CBS will be delayed tonight

There is more than eight-minutes left in a very close game.  This is going to take a while.

I do like crime dramas and cop shows, though I watch far less these days because my tolerance for the bullshit is so low. But I grew up on them, I enjoy the format and the style.

I always say copaganda isn't copaganda to me because I know it's bullshit and I think most see that at this point.

But this post-uprising, post-2020, copaganda might be pretty dangerous because it's aiming to show that police reform works and it doesn't. It's still bullshit but it's far less obvious.

We're like two tv seasons away from an ABC series called Refund the Police about a department being completely defunded and a city's residents acting like it's the fucking purge (cause this is what cops act like 'defund the police' means) and the good old boys in blue desperately try to get their department back because they wanna protect the city they love and definitely live in soooo much.

Anyway, East New York's pilot is a little try-hard, as pilots tend to be. But the casting is phenomenal and I'm already a little obsessed with the lead's personality and I wanna know every single thing about her lol.

I can't believe CBS uncancelled S.W.A.T and sacrificed two new shows to give it a final shortened season to wrap up stories but not NCIS LA, which has multiple unfinished stories and has been on for 14 seasons not just 6. I was okay with S.W.A.T cancellation since the show was already ending storylines, I'm really curious to know what the unfinished stories are?
