How do you bury a corpse that refuses to die?

The first time she died, Aku didn't realise she was dead. She thought she was suffering a nightmare, at worst, a supernatural attack by malevolent spirits, inconvenient but not life-threatening. But when she died for the second time, she knew that something was wrong... sinisterly wrong.
It would take Aku's third death to free her mind from the dark haze that kept her trapped in a series of harrowing events she'd give ten lifetimes to avoid. Except by then, it would be too late; too late for her to change the chain of tragedy that followed her walking corpse like a swarm of grave-flies.

DEAD CORPSE - Another chilling tale of ghostly vengeance by the undisputed Queen of African Horror, Nuzo Onoh.
