Myth and legends are universal. Every people has their own myths, whether to explain why sometimes the sky makes this really loud rumbling noise, where they came from, why sometimes people just die, or who that one guy — you know the one from three houses down? Yeah, that guy — sometimes suddenly starts talking to even if he seems alone. Humans use myths to makes sense of their world. But it is not just people, each place has its own legends too. And while those myths and legends may differ in t...
http://www.horrorblog.co.uk/blog/afri...African Monsters edited by Jo Thomas & Margret Helgadottir from Fox Spirit Books - winner of the 2015 British Fantasy Society Best Independent Press. "So, with all this in mind, please tread lightly on this little square of African soil we offer you. It houses monsters with bite along with spirits that will steal your soul away along with your breath."When this little gem landed in my inbox I read it straight away, not due to the editors of this anthology,...

These are the stories of monsters from sub-Saharan Africa who prey on humans.The locations of some...
Stuff I Read - African Monsters ReviewSo short fiction collections are always difficult to review without reviewing each story individually (and for the sake of my own sanity I'm not going to do that here), but I must say I really have been enjoying the Monster books from Fox Spirit. European Monsters, which I read last year, was a fascinating read, and if anything this new volume turns things up even further. But then, with the trip south from Europe there are a few things that are different, i...
Following on from the success of Fox Spirit’s previous coffee-table volume, European Monsters, African Monsters takes the series a step further, drawing on African mythologies, written by authors and illustrated by artists who, for the most part, have a deep connection with the continent. As the editors say in their introduction, “African mythology is as diverse as all the cultures that embody it, from the ancient Egyptian in the north to the old beliefs of the San desert people in the South. “W...
