I survived a river exorcism

Nuzo Onoh is a writer of African Horror stories. Although she's lived in the UK for many years, she was raised in the Igbo culture of southern Nigeria - in the area called Biafra that fought unsuccessfully for independence in the 1960s. Nuzo was a child then, and her turbulent experience of those years is reflected in her latest novel - The Sleepless. It tells the story of a little girl called Obele who befriends a gang of ghosts.
