Ghostroots by 'Pemi Aguda
"Ghostroots" by Pemi Aguda is a collection of twelve stories set in a reimagined Lagos, Nigeria, where the supernatural intertwines with everyday life. The tales explore themes of ancestral ties and the eerie possibility of inherited evil. From a woman who eerily resembles her deceased grandmother to a new mother facing mysterious challenges, each story delves into the uncanny. The cityscape serves as a backdrop for narratives filled with suspense and emotion, where ordinary events like market visits and family conversations are tinged with otherworldly elements.
