À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Welcome to Lagos ... as you've never seen it before.
A woman sees the ghost of her abusive mother in her daughter's face.
A mysterious virus wipes out all the boys on one street.
A young architect turns up to measure a house, only to find that her drawings make no sense, and the house seems to resist her ...
'The eerie and the everyday are perfectly aligned in these twelve stories set in the hustle and bustle of Lagos in Nigeria ... excellently uncanny' Daily Mail
'Magic and mayhem on the streets of Lagos ... thrilling and disturbing' Financial Times
'Wildly inventive and odd, but written with surgeonlike precision, these stories herald the arrival of a major voice in speculative fiction' New York Times Book Review
'Both absorbing and terrifying in the most delightful and addictive way ... you'll find it hard to tear yourself away from the pages' Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us
