The Reformatory by Tananarive Due is a haunting and emotionally charged novel that blends historical fiction with supernatural horror.
Set in 1950s Jim Crow-era Florida, the story follows twelve-year-old Robbie Stephens Jr., who is sentenced to a brutal reform school after a racially charged incident.
As Robbie endures the institution’s physical and psychological torment, he discovers that the school hides far more sinister secrets, ghosts of past boys who never made it out.
Due masterfully explores themes of racism, injustice, grief, and ancestral power in this gripping narrative.
The Reformatory resonates deeply with readers seeking powerful Black literature and is a compelling read for those interested in American history, ghost stories, and social justice.
Available in Nairobi and across Kenya for readers seeking thought-provoking and emotionally intense novels.
