really liked it

It's rare to find a collection of short stories where every one is excellent. I read this all in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it.

There's a blend of horror and magical realism. All of which is very unsettling. My favorites were:
"Manifest" (what an opener)
"The Hollow" (love uncanny architecture)
"24, Alhaji Williams Street" (leaves me speechless)

I loved this collection despite having no familiarity with Nigerian culture or language. I imagine it would be all the better with the added context.
