Tor Presents: Voyage Into Genre Tor Books

The first-ever Voyage into Genre live tour is in the books—and what a tour it was! Intrepid authors Andrea Hairston, Veronica Roth, Rebecca Thorne, and Nghi Vo spent a whirlwind week traveling from Seattle to New York with stops every night along the way.
We're pleased to share excerpts from their tour kick-off at Third Place Books (with TJ Klune moderating) as well as the final stop at Greenlight Books (with P. Djeli Clark moderating).

And stay tuned for Season Four—new episodes will launch July 31!

Tor Publishing Group and Lit Hub are thrilled to present an evening of fantasy at a LIVE version of our popular Voyage Into Genre podcast.  Join Andrea Hairston, Nghi Vo, Rebecca Thorne, and Veronica Roth on an epic road trip across the US beginning May 13!

A little end-of-season treat: some recommendations from the Tor authors who appeared on the 2023 season of Voyage into Genre! Books, music, movies, and even a new podcast rec courtesy of the Brooklyn Public Library!!

It's the last week of the season and we're getting into the big Fs: feelings, fear, friendship, family. Fun!
ITINERARY:

Kristen Simmons (Find Him Where You Left Him Dead) discusses the difference between Eastern and Western ghosts, why teenagers deserve real fiction, and inventing a terrifying game for her characters to play.

Johnny Compton (The Spite House) talks about his favorite thing in fiction, about the real-life inspirations for his spite house, and about why it isn't actually so easy to just leave a haunted house.

Drew ends the season with a bit of art: a Robert Frost poem, for these dark times.

This week, we travel to the Big Smoke! It's London across time and relative dimensions in space, with magic and monsters and the mystery of antiquarian book-selling.
ITINERARY:

V.E. Schwab (The Fragile Threads of Power) talks about the joy of revisiting old friends on the page, the complicated ethics of power, and why it is that London calls to her.

Lina Rather (A Season of Monstrous Conceptions) takes us back to the days after the Great Fire with deep research on midwifery and Sir Christopher Wren, and what it means to wander (literally or literarily) a city of such immense history as London.

Oliver Darkshire (Once Upon a Tome) shares a bit of insight into the life of an antiquarian bookseller, a bookshop's life in a city like London, and why it is important that we hold onto and celebrate the things we love.

It's time to break out your best 1960s-Batman graphics -- because it's an action-packed episode about ACTION!
ITINERARY:

S. L. Huang (The Water Outlaws) explains the historical roots of Water Margin, muses on what being a stunt performer brings to writing, interrogates the ethical questions humanity has grappled with for centuries, and lets us all in on a little secret about the book...

Julia Vee & Ken Bebelle (Ebony Gate) talk about how they came to write together, why they wanted to root their series on the West Coast, and the joys of writing fun action sequences.

No third interview! Because we don't cross picket lines! But Drew does muse briefly on why this current joint strike is existentially important for all creative industries.
