Tales of African Mysticism - Volume I
Category: Short Stories Length: 60,000 words
A road that leads nowhere. A mysterious stranger. Spirits that refuse to stay buried. Fools who meddle with dark forces.
Meet Yomi: wanderer, raconteur and unlikely man of learning. He may look like a hobo, but beneath the weather-beaten exterior lies a sharp mind, a law degree and a taste for mint tea. The supernatural, unfortunately, has a habit of taking an interest in him and not always on terms of his choosing.
In Tales of African Mysticism – Volume I: Yomi’s Stories, Yomi recounts his encounters with the strange and inexplicable, drawing us into a world where African beliefs and folklore meet the unsettling realities of everyday life.
Sometimes dark, sometimes surprising, and often touched with humour, these tales reveal a world in which appearances deceive, ancient forces have their own agendas, and the storyteller himself may be more than he seems.
Step into Yomi’s world, where nothing is ever quite what it seems.

When her marriage falls apart, Ndidi is trapped by the wealth and power of her estranged husband, whose controlling mother exerts a troubling influence over Ndidi’s daughter, Tola. Desperate to protect Tola from the family’s slavish devotion to a cult-like church and its charismatic leader, Pastor Mike, Ndidi plays the role of the dutiful wife and daughter-in-law.
When Tola vanishes, the brilliant Detective Wole is assigned to the case and, with Ndidi’s help, uncovers darker forces than the greed and megalomania of Pastor Mike’s church. What Wole doesn’t know is that the playground whispers that terrified Ndidi as a child - of juju, Gbomogbomo child snatchers, and Òrìṣàs – have returned to haunt her…
