AMC announced that Victor LaValle’s The Ballad of Black Tom is in development for television as part of their “scripts-to-series development model that puts the emphasis on the most important part of our strategy – outstanding writing, a commitment to worlds you’ve never seen on TV before, and rich character development.”

The Ballad of Black Tom, from Tor.com Publishing, is a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, British Fantasy, World Fantasy, and Bram Stoker Awards, won the Shirley Jackson and This is Horror Award for Novella of the Year, and was named one of NPR‘s Best Books of 2016.
