Tales from Central Africa share many common themes across the continent due to ancient ethnic groups expanding and migrating over many centuries, carrying their oral traditions with them. The Bantu and Banda languages, as well as the Sara and Gbaya, are rich sources of these tales, each adding their unique twist to stories featuring Anansi-style spiders or other tricksters. In the Congo, clever water antelopes and gazelles face off against brutish or pompous lions, leopards, or elephants.
Flame Tree 451 is a captivating collection that spans a wide range of genres, from myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror, fantasy and science fiction. It provides a delectable feast for readers who enjoy werewolves, mechanical men, blood-thirsty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. This anthology has been carefully curated to cater specifically to the tastes of those who revel in the fantastic.
