Praise for Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon
"A high octane thriller that is simply unputdownable. Talabi deftly weaves different mythos spanning centuries across continents and borders to create a truly fantastical story. Gods, demons, magicians, giants, all jostling for power and prestige within an all too human story. This remarkable debut rocked my world." —T. L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead
“Shigidi is a tale that will excite any lover of contemporary African fantasy. What better thrill than two globetrotting, timetrotting, worldtrotting beings caught between a love story, a heist and a ghastly contract with a spirit company? Talabi's imagination, already obvious in previous works, shines through, offering us a world of deities and monstrosities trading in belief and supplication. An innovative addition to the godpunk roster—if you loved David Mogo, you'll love this!” —Suyi Davis Okungbowa, author of the Nameless Republic trilogy
Praise for the work of Wole Talabi
"These are amazing narratives which show assiduous reflection on science, emotion, mysticism and philosophy. With such careful consideration, impeccable science and interesting characters, each story is prose that gently tickles the forebrain. Recommended." —Tade Thompson, Nommo Award-winning author of Rosewater
"Fierce and urgent—a remarkable new voice." —Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City and The Shining Girls
"Wole Talabi's 'The Regression Test' blends transhumanism and the Turing test, proffering an intentionally unsettling look at what it means for a computer program to attempt to replace someone you've lost." —Scientific American
