Reviews
“An electrifying journey of legacy, horror, and African lore. Devour will grip your soul at the roots.” * Orlando Jones * “Gripping and imaginative horror with a twist on the West African Anansi mythology. Devour has engaging characters and outstanding graphics leading to a devastating climax.” * Tananarive Due, coauthor of The Keeper * “Anansi’s magic and his treachery come to American shores. Devour is a tale of horror, history, and family magic—both its risks and its rewards. This story is full of blood and brutality, it’s an epic tale that goes back to the earliest times and forward into the future.” * Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling * “Black ancestral trauma energizes a clever twist on Anansi, who is a different being in the hands of each storyteller. Stories, after all, are the key . . . you’ll be appalled, you’ll be absorbed, you’ll devour this book.” * Nalo Hopkinson, coauthor of DC’s House of Whispers *
