Talabi’s debut novel is a funny, sexy, and adventurous exploration of Nigerian gods and revenge. Focused on a burnt out nightmare god, Shigidi, who is tired of the spirit corporation’s corruption, this story is full of twists and turns. Talabi crafts a dramatic heist and workplace satire, incorporating critiques of capitalism into a world of spirit spaces, conjurers, divine kola nuts, and orishas. Power grabs and succubi are common here, and the richness of the characters builds a complex story across Nigeria, England, and Singapore. This fantasy could best be described as epic.
