Review

"Perhaps, then, the most interesting thing about this anthology is how stark a light it sheds on the world around us. Whether they are calling our attention to louder things like climate change, or quieter things like the sound of the rain or cuts on people’s arms – the stories in this anthology give context and new perspective to many old puzzles."

- Michael Onsando, Brainstorm

I must praise the beautiful cover art by Kenyan digital artist, animator and illustrator, Peter Marco, which illustrates Andrew Dakalira’s “Rise of the Akafula” perfectly. His art is sharp, well-composed and lovely to look at. I hope to see more of his work illustrating the African speculative in the future.

Review

"A lot has been said about how Kenyan writing is not good enough and as much as I don’t want to take part of that, this anthology shows that people are just not reading Kenyan writers who are writing right now about the things that THEY want to write about."

- Aisha Ali, Binti Mswahili

Review

"It is a book suffused with some of the best writing talent in the city, and it makes for fascinating reading."

- Iloti Mutoka, UP Nairobi

"It’s a good read but it’s easy to see that it’s all indie material. Indie material is good, indie material has heart and indie material has soul."

- Kris Kabiru, Bad Trips On Scary Journeys
