  • The Year of Dark and Whimsy

    What a year! It is only in looking back on the year’s work (both published and works-in progress) that I realize I’ve devoted the most part of the year to crafting darkly whimsical tales. Without further ado, here are the stories I had out this year for your reading pleasure. The Tale of Jaja and […]

    Shirley Jackson Award Finalist

    What? I know. It’s been almost a month but typing this still feels surreal. If anyone had told me last year that I’d be nominated for a couple of prestigious awards (3, but who’s counting) I would have laughed in their faces. But I am immensely grateful. Writing is a lonely task, and it really […]

    Nommo Award Finalist!

    I’m incredibly pleased to announce that The Goatkeeper’s Harvest is a finalist for the Nommo award in the short story category! That makes this the second major award I’ve been shortlisted for this year (the first being the British Science Fiction Association award). Not too bad for this kid from Lagos, who always dreamed of […]

    I am a BSFA Finalist!

    I am thrilled, gobsmacked, positively befuddled, and pleasantly surprised to announce that my story Isn’t Your Daughter Such a Doll is a finalist for the British Science Fiction Association awards! I can’t stress enough how wonderful this feels. When I learned the story had been longlisted, I was, of course, pleased and frankly did not […]

    Awards Eligibility Post

    It’s that time of the year again, in which we give account of the works that came out. I had five! stories published this year (the most I’ve ever had). I’m bad at summarizing my own work, and have included reviews where I could find them. And without further ado, here are the stories in […]

    Here Sits His Ignominy

    I’m pleased to announce my new story in Breathe FIYAH (an anthology of flash fiction produced in collaboration between FIYAH and Tor) Flash fiction has been one of those categories that I’ve squinted at from afar with suspicion, because how well can you tell a good story in so few words? But when I saw […]

    CW: wet crotch, underpants, disease, body parts. I As a child, rummaging through the house for buried treasure was a favourite pastime, an exercise which ranged from digging through the cracks in the settee for long lost trinkets: combs, toy cars, dismembered action figures, dried chicken drumsticks (I heap all the blame on my sister […]

    BTS #2: Guardian of the Gods

    Here’s a brief rundown of how I wrote this story. There’s potential spoilers here, so if you haven’t read it, and don’t want to be spoiled, go here. A question was all that really set off this story: what happens if men gained such power as to rival that of the gods? What happens if […]
