A dark farce and a supernatural thriller of rebirth, betrayal, vengeance, occultic magic, mysterious invocations and creepy rituals-from Nuzo Onoh, recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement and ""the Queen of African Horror.""

Set both in Nigeria and the USA, The Fake Ghost follows the whacky and sinister travails of the President of the United States, reborn as a black child in a tiny African hut. As the child grows, he insists on being called POTUS and hears disturbing voices in his head that often cause him to be cruel and selfish. Until one day an accident separates the linked souls. With the help of a medicine-man, the president must find a way to free his trapped soul and return to the United States to prevent a dastardly political plot against him. But first, he must enter a diabolical blood pact, which might return to haunt him with devastating consequences.

""Sometimes shocking, fantastical and hilarious, but also tinged with hope, this ghost will haunt you long after the final page."" --Tim Lebbon, author of The Last Storm
