The Witches Brew And Other Stories - 9781664177314

Witches Brew and Other Stories is a collection of short stories that span many cultural and contemporary beliefs and topics. Crossed Bones chronicles what a boy-soldier in the Nigeria-Biafra war thought was fun only to be confronted by horrors of unimaginable proportions. Even in the snippet he narrates, it's still difficult to put into words what he saw and experienced. A trauma that is his daily existence. Deception explores a contemporary distressing phenomenon rocking the West African immigrants in America which has led to a slew of killings and suicides. The Witches Brew taps into various cultural issues: from the way widows are handed over to the dead husband's brother as if she were property, to the old quest for the elixir for long life and its repercussions. This book covers a wide range of issues that many will find interesting.
