Akashic Books, Ltd. Read Kindle PreviewA beautifully written and often speculative story collection infused with Caribbean and African myths and cultures, exploring love, betrayal, motherhood, death, and home. GROUNDED IN CONTEMPORARY LIFE AND INFUSED WITH TRADITIONS of Africa and the Caribbean, A Good Haunting: Stories spins myth, magic, and realism into heartrending tales of characters seeking love and connection. Death is the primary antagonist in each of these stories, sometimes appearing as death of self, other times as death of a loved one, and often as both. In the title story, βA Good Haunting,β a widower in the midst of an unorthodox death ritual uses humor to deal with grief and guilt while coming to terms with unsavory details about his spouseβs sudden death. In βThe Way of the Volt,β an eighteenthβcentury African queen is made immortal, sold into slavery, and left to face a series of impossible choices that force her to struggle with what it means to be human. In βThe Sunset Toll,β members of the last community on earth disappear one by one until there are just three people left, trying to maintain hope even as they question the forces that keep them trapped on earth. The characters wrestle with foes, agonize at crossroads, and face painful truths, all while grappling with grief, love, betrayal, motherhood, and ideas of home. Some triumph, some do notβbut they all emerge irrevocably changed by their experiences. Start Reading A GOOD HAUNTING Now
