The titular story ‘The Visit’ which takes on the perspective of a ghost shows a willingness to look past realism and venture into speculative fiction. This experimentation is repeated in ‘The Curse’ in which supernatural and material realities coexist, and ‘Going West’, an imagined future where Lagos is engulfed by terrorist attacks. Although the story in ‘The Curse’ feels incomplete and the chronological sequence of certain events in ‘Going West’ could be more finely tuned, these are minor missteps in the grand scheme of things.
