*Giveaway Winner Honest Review*
Starting with the cover, I think it is a stunning piece of art. It caught my attention, and it gave me an idea of how The Old Ones looked, and I just absolutely loved it.
I honestly enjoyed this read. I have never read horror from other cultures. This was my first one, and I just enjoyed how unique this was. I absolutely loved that the author added a glossary at the beginning of the book, it totally helps you throughout your reading journey. Nuzo Onohs writing is most enjoyable for the fact that her writing style is not overly complicated or how I like to call it, overly fancy. Nuzo Onoh keeps her writing simple and easy for the reader to enjoy and understand the plot.
I did not give a 5 star because personally, this is not my type of horror, but nevertheless, I did really enjoy reading this book and would totally recommend.

I would like to thank Stygian Sky Media LLC for providing me with an ARC.
A Dance for the Dead is a fantastic African horror. Onoh's writing is brilliant and features some great characters and imagery. She does a fantastic job describing the setting and the traditions of the area.
The writing is great and does not get bogged down at any point. The pacing is great. There was a fantastic buildup to the scary elements of this book. I think horror fans will love this book.
