Fiction
Imagine Ghosts Telling Tales in front of Smoky Mirrors
by S. L. Masunda
Description
S.L. Masunda’s debut novel – Imagine Ghosts Telling Tales in front of Smoky Mirrors – is a fictional memoir exploring a writer’s quest for literary recognition. However, the atrocities he commits in the name of ambition become increasingly gruesome until he is charged with murder, and swiftly declared insane. The story is threaded together by the writer’s narration as he switches from past to current musings and back again. We are drawn back in time to three key moments in the writer’s life that are seemingly pivotal to his current predicament – always being challenged to seek out redemption for our hero turned killer.
A macabre and tragic fable, where greed and selfishness,
masked as love in all its forms, take centre stage.
