About this listen
A powerful Nigeria-set horror tale of possession, malevolent ghosts, family tensions, secrets, and murder from the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement and 'Queen of African Horror'. For fans of Octavia Butler, Ben Okri, and Koji Suzuki.
Bata, a young girl tormented by nightmares, wakes up one night to find herself standing sentinel before her cousin's door. Her cousin is to get married the next morning, but only if she can escape the murderous attack of a ghost-bride, who used to be engaged to her groom.
A supernatural possession helps Bata battle and vanquish the vengeful ghost bride, and following a botched exorcism, she is transported to Ibaja-La, the realm of dead brides. There, she receives secret powers to fight malevolent ghost-brides before being sent back to the human realm, where she must learn to harness her new abilities as she strives to protect those whom she loves.
By turns touching and terrifying, this is vivid supernatural horror story of family drama, long-held secrets, possession, death—and what lies beyond.
