REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS
★★★★★ REVIEW: SAUÚTI TERRORS by Will Swardstrom
"Of course, with every short story anthology or collection, there is variation between authors. Writing styles. Themes. The creepiness. The worlds that they only get a few pages to both set up and tear down all at once. I’m happy to report that the writing and imagination is top notch in this wonderful collection. There are a few stories that managed to dig somewhere inside of me and it’s going to take some work to draw them out and forget about them. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. "

Interview with Sauúti Terrors Editors: Inventing a Shared-World African Speculative Universe
Thanks to Brittle Paper for this Sauúti Terrors feature (+ for their support from the start of this Sauúti journey) and the opportunity to go into the Sauúti Collective more deeply.
We cover building a shared African sci-fi/fantasy world from scratch, the five planets, two suns, sound magic, and our Story Bible that lets writers step in and create.
REVIEW: SAUÚTI TERRORS by Candace Nola
"[SAUÚTI TERRORS is]...intelligent and thought-provoking, with stories that weave tales of terrors, tied together with threads of magic, wonder, faith and folklore. These stories and poems delve into themes of feminine rage and empowerment, of self-identity and place, of family, societal expectations and everything in-between all while told through the lens of a new world with a lush history of lore, legend, and deities all its own."

REVIEW: SAUÚTI TERRORS by Chisom Umeh
"Stories here do not shy away from the unsettling, the bone-chilling, the hair-raising, and the blood-curdling."
