One of my favorite parts of working at Tor is roughly once a month, I’ll write a goofy little social media quiz, which is both fun and also makes me feel like I’m losing my mind a little bit, because let’s face it: the wilder these things are, the better they perform.
ANYWAY, Halloween rocks, because instead of one fun thematic quiz, we have three, and that’s pretty epic
ANYWAY^2, we’re compiling them all into one feature for your scary season pleasure
Books. Candy. Two great, ultimately non-specific, tastes that go great together! Take this quiz for a sweet book rec!
The mystery genre loves that delectable combination of murder and fancy drinks! But, our fictional tastes don’t translate 1:1 to real life. For example: generally we humans are not fans of murder, and a lot of us don’t like to drink. However, alcohol has historically been a large part of socializing. Enter: award-winning science fiction / fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal, who’s upcoming book The Spare Man is a spacefaring murder mystery set amid glitzy future high society, and each chapter is punctuated by a different drink recipe, several sans alcohol! We asked Mary Robinette to write for us about her concoctions, and why she has chosen to include these delicious alcohol-free mocktails. Read on for recipes and insightful commentary! And then read The Spare Man when it releases on Tuesday, October 11th
