Book review Dreams and assorted nightmares by Ab Book review 

Dreams and assorted nightmares by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim (4⭐️) 

___
I mentioned earlier that for short stories, it’s nicer if the first story is great because that sets the pace and tone for the rest but you know what is even more amazing? (I just realized), ending with a perfect story! I got the latter with this book and it was great! 

___
There’s also something about short stories that are somewhat connected be it through the town they’re set in or the characters (siblings/parents/neighbors). These stories always feel wholesome. I think this is becoming a common trend and I am not complaining. 

In this book the common factor is the fictional town Zango where strange things happen and people are dealing with so much shit. It’s not a book with happy stories but it’s worth reading. 

Stories I liked 

Mororo’s masterpiece 
A very brief marriage (I don’t know if the author was going for a funny story with this but I laughed out loud a few times) 
Daughters of Bappa avenue 
Melancholy 
What the sand said 
Naznine

____
The one thing I didn’t like was I kinda felt from the synopsis I’d expect a lot more supernatural things happening but I didn’t get that till the last few stories. However, the last story wrapped the book up perfectly and bumped up my rating by 0.5 because it was so good! 

___
Themes in this book were loss, grief, mental illness, love.
HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! 📚 ____ I will forever b HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! 📚

I will forever be grateful for books.
