Ghostroots by ‘Pemi Aguda
5.0
challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense

This is a phenomenonal collection of stories. I don't remember where I learned of this book but I'm so glad I checked it out. It has a lot of uncanny and surreal moments. There's an emphasis on family, tradition, gender roles, and class. It's all written with so much empathy and care. The horror and fantasy elements in some stories are subtle but effectively written. I am definitely eager to read more from 'Pemi Aguda. :)
