Purchase options and add-ons

There are dragons in Lagos and witches who wear their sons’ skins, while a cabal of otherworldly beings are collecting intelligent life forms in the depths of the universe.

Nigerian author Dare Segun Falowo’s poetically precise language and spine-tingling plot twists are reminiscent of both Poe and Kafka as they tackle themes of belonging, abusive maternal relationships, and tragic love in an unforgettable literary adventure.

This collection features some of Falowo’s most notable previously published stories alongside new tales of magic and terror. Ngozi Ugegbe Nwa was longlisted for the 2021 NOMMO for short stories and Vain Knife was longlisted for the 2020 NOMMO for short stories. Convergence in Chorus Architecture appeared on the 2020 Locus

Recommended reading list and was longlisted for the BFSA short fiction award, the 2021 NOMMO for novellas, and the 2021 SCKA award for short fiction.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Falowo's transporting debut collection combines the fantastical, the spiritual, and the everyday to vivid effect. In 21 stories, all set in Nigeria, Falowo seamlessly merges Nigerian culture with elements of speculative fiction and fantasy. In "Kikelomo Ultrasheen," for example, a girl learns how to braid hair from her salon-owning mother, only to grow up to discover she has been "chosen by Onidiri," meaning she has the ability to bring about healing and destruction through her hands. Many of the stories deal with gender, examining the traditional domestic roles of women and inverting them such that these roles hold a sometimes dangerous amount of power. "October in Eran Riro" exemplifies this: its protagonist, October, has a mystical "olowosibi" in her hand that gives her great skill at cooking. It's not until she gets a job at a fancy and frightening restaurant that she learns about the bloody sacrifice that makes her food so delicious. Though some of the more abstract tales, including "Sonskins" and "The Visions of Atanda Ekun," prove difficult to interpret, readers will be content to let the poetic prose wash over them. Falowo is a writer to watch."
