I’m proud to announce that Tor.com will be publishing a sequel to Tade Thompson’s The Murders of Molly Southbourne. A finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award, the British Science Fiction Award, and the Nommo Award, Thompson’s spine-chilling thriller introduced Molly Southbourne, a woman cursed to spawn murderous copies of herself any time she bleeds. The New York Times praised the novella as “A bold outpouring of flesh and crisis at once horrifying and familiar.” In the second chapter, The Survival of Molly Southbourne, we follow Molly on the run, hunted at every turn by unknown dangers that push her survival skills to their limit. This acquisition deal was negotiated by Alexander Cochran of C+W.
