The Fake Ghost

Recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement, a pioneer of the African horror literary genre, and hailed as the ‘ Queen of African Horror’ Nuzo Onoh offers her most fantastical tale yet. The Fake Ghost is a dark farce and a supernatural thriller of rebirth, betrayal, vengeance, occultic magic, mysterious invocations and creepy rituals. Set both in Africa and the USA, it follows the whacky and sinister travails of a powerful American leader that is reborn as a black child in a tiny African hut. With the help of the medicine-man, he must find a way to free his trapped soul and return to the United States to prevent a dastardly plot against him. But first, he must enter a diabolical blood pact, which might return to haunt him with devastating consequences.
