We jumped at our desk when we learned about Vincent Tirado's second book, WE DON'T SWIM HERE.
Tirado serves another gripping ya horror, but shifts settings from urban industrial underground subways of Hunts Point in the Bronx to the bucolic rural lakefront of Hillwoods.
As in Burn Down, Rise Up; history, legend, and community continue to play center stage in We Don't Swim Here as Bronwyn navigates painful trues to free themselves and those they love.
If you are excited to learn more, @boogiedowngrind is hosting an in person Q&A with Vincent Tirado Thursday May 4th at 630PM EST. And course, Sistah Scifi has preorders of hardcovers signed by Vincent Tirado.
Better yet, check it out from your local #library. Today, we celebrate @HuntsPointNYPL.
Reposted @sourcebooksfire In WE DON’T SWIM HERE, the next horror YA novel from @v_e_tirado, we follow a gripping investigation that unveils humanity’s monstrous potential.
Perfect for readers of Tiffany D. Jackson, Lamar Giles, and Ryan Douglass

NEW PROJECT, more on my website -Teens @ The Point is an ongoing color portrait series of young people who utilize a variety of art programing at The Point Community Development Center in the Hunt’s Point section of the South Bronx. The aim of this project is to create a visual library of the current generation who are threatened with displacement because of gentrification.

💲YOUR "URBAN RENEWAL" IS OUR DISPLACEMENT 💲 Today, people of the Bronx stood up against Majora Carter and her attempt to advance her role in the displacement of Hunts Point/Longwood section of the Bronx. Illo is of a little protester with a big heart, defending his home. Even the young have the power to fight✊🏽 More drawings from the protest soon.

It took-what felt like three years, but was, in reality a solid week to get these prints framed, labelled and packed! But they are now on their way to the Bronx for Persistence of Vision at the Krasdale Galleries from July-September. They will then move to the Krasdale Galleries in Harrison, NY. I’ll post more info-galley hours, specific locations, and receptions, as it becomes available.
