It is a tradition in Nigeria for stories to be told at sunset. Sometimes the stories concern the supernatural and intend to raise goosebumps. Biola Olatunde, poet, screenwriter and novelist, provides 6 such tales but with an added twist. Each of her stories are insightful studies of aspects of Nigerian society - superstition, sexism, predjudice.

This chapbook is a tribute publication to the author, who unexpectedly passed away in 2021.…mehr
