"In Kabu Kabu, Nnedi Okorafor spins you around, dazzles you, and drops you, unsteadily, into a fresh world, leaving you constantly uncertain what's magic, what's science, and what's just flat-out weird. This is a wild mix of stories that veers between magical realism, science fiction, myth-making (and myth-breaking!), and the strange. You'll end up hoping it's a magically unending book. . . (Spoiler: it's not.)"

Kabu kabu—unregistered illegal Nigerian taxis—generally get you where you need to go. Nnedi Okorafor’s Kabu Kabu, however, takes the reader to exciting, fantastic, magical, occasionally dangerous, and always imaginative locations you didn’t know you needed. This debut short story collection by an award-winning author includes notable previously published material, a new novella co-written with New York Times-bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, six additional original stories, and a brief foreword by Whoopi Goldberg.
