Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon

Religion as a business, and sex as a weapon. Wole Talabi draws on the religions of the world - with particular emphesis on those of Africa - to weave a rich and varied tapestry of gods, demons and lore. An unlikely partnership made up of a pair of enigmatic anti-heroes - a succubus and a nightmare demon - is indebted to a powerful god, and must conduct a high-stakes heist and retrieve a well-prtected relic in order to make good on their debt. This fast-paced horror/fantasy is also a love story with plenty of drama to complement the action. Masterfully written, this book seamlessly blends many unrelated religions and histories in a potent and pleasant coctail of cultures.
