Description
Blending lyrical wonder with sharp, human humor, these stories move between Nigeria and the UK to explore how belief, memory, and imagination shape everyday life. Across eight interconnected tales, characters are drawn into uncanny encounters—pursued by images, haunted by spiritual presences, and forced to seek meaning in rituals, communities, and the stories they inherit. At the heart of the collection is a meditation on identity and transformation, where the “real” and the mystical continually overlap. With a voice shaped by the same poetic, myth-inflected storytelling that made his earlier work celebrated, the author crafts vivid, atmospheric narratives that feel both intimate and mythic—inviting readers to consider what it means to be seen, to endure, and to be remade by the unseen.
