Moonbeam: An Anthology of Short Stories by Nigeria’s Foremost Culture Journalists
Moonbeam is a stirring collection of stories that ventures beyond the daily beat of Nigeria’s finest culture journalists. Stepping out from behind their headlines, these writers draw deeply from their creative reserves to craft narratives that are both real and relatable.
The anthology offers a vivid, unflinching gaze into life as it truly is; beautiful, broken and bewildering. From the poignant to the bizarre, the reflective to the heartwrenching, each story captures a distinct shade of the human experience, presenting the world without moral conclusions or tidy resolutions.
A Meal Is a Meal
A Meal Is a Meal promises a journey into the surprising and bizarre heart of Nigerian culinary culture. This gothic collection of food-themed stories offers a dark commentary on the human condition, highlighting the varied myths, beliefs, superstitions, and notions that surround Nigerian food.
The titular story, for instance, details a young woman’s sinister plot to lure and kill a love interest to host her cannibalistic family to a meal. Another story, “Potluck Jollof,” chronicles a caterer’s shocking revenge on her sisterhood after they depreciate her culinary craft, leading her to sabotage their potluck with jollof rice concocted in less than hygienic means. This collection is a tantalizing look at the delicious, the strange and the deeply disturbing.
