Description

"Precise and illuminating." - Bernardine Evaristo OBE. Shortlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize, the Saboteur Awards, the Shirley Jackson Award and the Jhalak Prize. Lovelorn aliens abduct innocent coffee shop waitresses.

Ghosts of errant Londoners haunt the Underground, caught between here and the hereafter.

Brave young women seek erotic empowerment... at their own peril. These are the worlds of Speak Gigantular, the startling debut short story collection from acclaimed author Irenosen Okojie MBE.

Understated in her humour and razor-sharp in her observations of humankind, Okojie's eclectic anthology offers an unflinching gaze into the darkest corners of the human experience. Sexy, serious, and often downright disturbing, this brilliant debut collection sizzles with originality. "A work of rare confidence, luminous imagery and full of hidden sharp edges." - Nina Allan, winner of the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire. "Irenosen Okojie's Speak Gigantular should, if there is any literary justice, place her in a circle with writers like Shirley Jackson, Margaret Atwood, and Angela Carter." - New Orleans Review.
