Vanessa Onwuemezi
In her brilliantly inventive debut collection, Vanessa Onwuemezi takes listeners on a surreal and haunting journey through a landscape on the edge of time.
At the border with another world, a line of people wait for the gates to open; on the floor of a lonely room, a Born Winner runs through his life’s achievements and losses; in a suburban garden, a man witnesses a murder that pushes him out into the community. Struggling to realise the human ideals of love and freedom, the characters of Dark Neighbourhood roam instead the depths of alienation, loss and shame.
With a detached eye and hallucinatory vision, they observe the worlds around them as the line between dream and reality dissolves and they themselves begin to fragment.
Electrifying and heady, and written with a masterful lyrical precision, Dark Neighbourhood heralds the arrival of a strikingly original new voice in fiction.

"[A] beautiful, vertiginous and enriching first collection...there is a folkloric power in the way Onwuemezi combines clarity and mystery, evoked in a dramatic, memorable soundworld." (David Hayden, Guardian)
"By turns inventive, poetic, energetic, uncomfortable and uncompromising, these stories mark the arrival of a singular talent." (Buzz Magazine)
