Review Quotes




"Mothersound: the Sauutiverse Anthology, is a rare and distinct Afrocentric treat that hums in the unity of a collective enriched with universal storytelling and the many languages of Mother Africa." -Nuzo Onoh, Queen of African Horror, and recipient of the 2022 Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award.


"The Sauútiverse is a powerful original collective concept, and this debut anthology clearly shows collaboration can create more than the sum of its parts while remaining firmly true to its African heritage and taking that boldly into the future." -Ivor W. Hartmann, writer and editor of AfroSF.


"Fantastika at its best. The Sauútiverse invites a reader to drown in a poetic world, built with a Tolkenian attention to gripping detail, and full of creatures who excite the imagination in a dream-like rollercoaster. The illustrations are works of art in themselves, adding spice to the stories, and I found myself wishing there were more paintings, more stories, and more pages to keep me up in the wee hours." -Dilman Dila, internationally acclaimed and award-winning social activist, filmmaker and author of Yat Madit stories


"The Sauútiverse is a mind-blowing, highly imaginative and deeply compelling sandbox. The wide range and excellent quality of these stories are a testament to that, offering yet another formidable trove of authors of African descent. In Mothersound, Talabi and company have offered us something seminal. This book will continue to influence the canon of Afrocentric futurisms for years to come." -Suyi Davies Okungbowa, award-winning Nigerian author of David Mogo, Godhunter and The Nameless Republic trilogy
