Ghostroots by ‘Pemi Aguda

5.0

4.5/5

An inventive short story collection of “haunting”, from the paranormal to paranoid, GHOSTROOTS delivers stories with compelling writing that blends character and plot.

A strong NBA contender!

My favorites
-manifest: asks the question if evil can be passed down through a complex mother daughter relationship. Are we just manifesting what’s predetermined?
-contributions: a short yet wild story that describes a community of women who contribute money to a mutual fund. But what happens when someone comes up short?
-hollow: speaks of the violence people can pretend not to see, but the houses always witness it
-masquerade season: what are we willing to give for an idea lifestyle?
