Twenty-three-year-old Yosoye arrives in Lagos ready to start her life. Working for a slick architectural firm, she finds a city of adventure and opportunity. Her new world is one of fancy gallery openings, glamorous friends, and all the shiny potential of the future, encapsulated in projects like Omi City, the ultra-luxury development her company is building, a symbol of the dawn of a brighter Lagos. But Yosoye’s idyllic vision of Lagos soon begins to seem naive, and its darker, stranger layers trouble her.

A debut collection of stories set in a hauntingly reimagined Lagos where characters vie for freedom from ancestral ties.
