No One Dies Yet (2023)
Kobby Ben Ben
"No One Dies Yet is a glorious and experimental debut! Snatched from the first line, this book whipped me along its sharp turns and smoldering mystery. Kobby's storytelling audaciously defies genre; he masterfully weaves Ghanaian history of colonisation and enslavement, queer erotics, the supernatural, and the mundane in a manner that seems so effortless and reads smoothly. This book is darkly funny and surprising. Reading this was an adventure I'd go on again and again."
House Woman (2023)
Adorah Nworah
"Deliciously sinister, House Woman engulfs in slow, insidious waves. This novel is compellingly paced and alive with searing detail. Though woven through familiar elements of Nigerian diasporic literature, Nworah's prose quickly, provocatively subverts expectations. With characters who are flawed as flesh and a plot that twists and snatches from one terrifying brink to another, House Woman is fresh and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm just jealous that I didn't write it!"
