The Between is a 1995 horror novel by Tananarive Due and her debut novel. It follows a middle-class African-American husband and father who has lived with the belief that he cheated death as a child. When his family becomes the target of racist threats, he suffers a psychological breakdown intertwined with supernatural elements that blur the boundary between reality and death.[1] It was nominated for the 1996 Bram Stoker Award.[2]

Critical reception

James Polk, reviewing for The New York Times, wrote, "Part horror novel, part detective story and part speculative fiction, The Between is a mix of genres. Yet it is no hybrid. It is a finely honed work that always engages and frequently surprises."[3]

Development of novel

The lengthy autobiographical essay by Due elucidates the history and context of her first novel The Between among many other works and details of her life.[4]
