I enjoy a good ghost story, and Where The Dead Brides Gather by @nuzo.bsky.social is definitely that! It also comes from a POV and context outside my "normal" which I appreciate. Once I'm done, my copy is going to a friend who also appreciates African horror and sci-fi. #BookSky

FUTILITY is published in the UK today! Mega-thanks to @cathtrechman.bsky.social & @titanbooks.bsky.social for giving this story a platform to shine. I dedicated this story of rage & vengeance to myself because it let me freely express my own rage over a horrible incident in my past.
