@bookofcinz: February BookOfCinz Book Club pick is GHOSTROOTS by @pem.i This was one of my favourite books for 2025, I loved it so much I couldn't stop recommending it, and now it's a book club pick. This collection still continues to haunt me, I still think about the characters and wonder how they are doing. February is a short month, and what better way to get through it than with this excellent collection of short stories. I do recommend reading a story every four days and sitting with it. Don't rush through this collection. More about the book 👇🏾 ’Pemi Aguda opens her collection of twelve stories with the chilling tale of a woman who uncannily resembles her sinister, deceased grandmother. When the woman shows a capacity for deadly violence, she wonders—can evil be genetic, passed from generation to generation? Set in Lagos, Nigeria, Aguda’s stories unfold against a spectral cityscape where the everyday business of living—the birth of a baby, a market visit, a conversation between mothers and daughters—is charged with an air of supernatural menace. In “Breastmilk” a new mother’s inability to lactate takes on preternatural overtones. In “24, Alhaji Williams Street” a mysterious disease wreaks havoc with frightening precision. In “The Hollow,” an architect stumbles on a vengeful house. We loved DRINKING FROM GRAVEYARD WELLS so much, prepare to fall in love with this one! 📚 Click the link in my bio to join book club! #BookOfCinzBookClub #BlackBookClub #CaribbeanBookClub
