A Killing in the Sun draws from the rich oral culture of the author’s childhood to tell stories set in a futuristic Africa where technology has transformed everyday life and a dark force rules. There are refugee aliens from outer space, ghosts haunting brides and grooms, evil scientists stalking villages, and greedy corporations creating apocalypses. There are murder mysteries, tales of reincarnation and of the walking dead, and alternative worlds. This collection is deftly crafted, running along the thin boundary of speculative and literary genres.
