Creatures of Passage by Morowa Yejidé
3.0
★★★1/2
“Creatures of Passage” by Morowa Yejidé is a ghost story set in 1977 in the Washington D.C. neighborhood of Anacostia (a few miles north of Joint Base Bolling and just across the river from Nationals Stadium - I could relate to the locale). The ghost characters were enough to keep me interested in this book. Throw in racial tension, substance abuse, social injustice, pedophilia and family dysfunction and you get the whole ball of wax. One reviewer described this book as psychedelic and that’s a pretty good description.
