A collection of literary horror stories all set in Lagos - and a finalist for the National Book Award
The supernatural looms over the grime and sweat of everyday life in Lagos in this celebrated collection from a prize-winning young Nigerian writer.
A FINALIST FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CAINE PRIZE FOR AFRICAN WRITING
ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024
'Thrilling and disturbing' Financial Times
'Excellently uncanny' Daily Mail
'You'll find it hard to tear yourself away' Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us
Exploring the dark borders between psychology and superstition, these feverishly imaginative stories of trauma, betrayal, terror and love lay bare the forces of myth, tradition, gender, sexuality and modernity in Nigerian society. Here are characters cursed by guilt, bound by the ties of ancestors and community; or enchanted by the allure of mysticism and would-be prophets. Powered by a deep empathy, and glinting with humour and insight, they announce a major new literary talent.
