Masks that refuse to be removed.
Brides who hunt by moonlight.
Witches who feast on corpses and dance to drums that never stop.
What if the folklore of Africa was more than story-what if it was warning?
In this chilling third volume of the African Horror Folklore Series, Gareth Holbrook brings together ten terrifying tales of witchcraft, shapeshifters, and monstrous spirits that haunt the continent. Inside you will discover:
A weaver who traps people's souls inside her black cloth.
A bride who reveals herself as a were-hyena on her wedding night.
A masquerade dancer whose mask fuses to his flesh, never to come off.
A crocodile child claimed by the river.
A cursed famine mask that demands human sacrifice.
A drum that enslaves a boy to beat forever for the witches' dance.
Blending authentic folklore with modern horror pacing, these stories will immerse you in a world where masks breathe, rivers seduce, and hunger itself takes form.
For fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and The Dark Descent, this volume is proof that the most terrifying monsters are not in fairy tales-they are in our traditions, waiting to be remembered.
The witches are dancing. Will you listen to their drum?
