African Speculative & Fantasy

Magic systems built on Efik river deities, Igbo ogbanje, Nsibidi script and worlds no Western publisher would have thought to commission. This is fantasy where the mythology isn't borrowed, and it ranges from a sapphic urban fantasy set in Calabar to a YA series that has become the gateway into the genre for a generation of young readers. Start here if you think you don't like fantasy; these books may change your mind about what the genre is for.
