The stories in this book are dedicated to my beautiful mother, Caroline onoh, The consummate story-teller; to my second mother and inspiration, Edna izuora and to my late uncle, Sabastian afadi, whose ghostly moonlight stories inspired a love of supernatural and unknown in me. My immense gratitude to my great friend, ted dunphy (A.K.A greengoalie 1), without whose invaluable critique this book would never have been written in its present form. “Irish” , This book is as much yours as it is mine.
