  • Serial the podcast meets The Other Black Girl in a haunted house, as young African author disappears after being invited to an exclusive writing residency, and her sister is left only with a true crime podcast to help her uncover the truth about what really happened…

    Anaya Sebeya is missing.

    Before her disappearance, Anaya was a brilliant writer: a rising star. Invited to a prestigious writing residency at Günter Huis, an eerie colonial mansion on the slopes of Devil’s Peak, Anaya was supposed to craft the next great African literary masterpiece—and so were four other young, emerging writers, all competing for the grand prize. But Anaya never made it home.

    When a sensationalized true crime podcast about Anaya emerges, claiming to reveal everything that happened at Günter Huis, her sister Ranewa is both skeptical and furious. But with each surreal episode, Ranewa begins to piece together a truth worse than she ever could have imagined…

    At Günter Huis, Anaya’s nightmares consume her. Time slips away from her. Günter Huis inflicts distorted visions and terrible supernatural visitations, pushing Anaya to tell a story no one dares. But exorcising the house’s endless cycle of evil requires a sacrifice that neither Anaya nor her fellows are ready to make.

    In House of Margins, award-winning Motswana author Tlotlo Tsamaase delivers a mesmerizing story of a young generation facing colonialism’s cultural legacy in Africa.Praise for Tlotlo Tsamaase

    “A fearless novel that probes ideas of surveillance, misogyny and class. . . . Tsamaase brilliantly tackles ideas of motherhood and autonomy. The author seamlessly blends a body-hopping ghost story about revenge with a narrative about the importance of memory. It’s such an original first novel, and I’ll be reading whatever comes next.” —The New York Times Book Review on Womb City

    “House of Margins skillfully dissects bloody colonial history with a tale of sisterly devotion, righteous anger, and sacrifice too big for one person to shoulder. This will live with me for a long time. Make no mistake—Tsamaase pulls no punches.” —Vincent Tirado, author of You Should Have Been Nicer To My Mom on House of Margins

    “With melodic prose that stares down post-colonial racism, the ‘true-crime’ commodification of missing and dead bodies, and the infantilization of Black authors, House of Margins is a brilliant work that gives the immersive feeling of being trapped in a nightmare. Interactive and deeply imagined, Tlotlo Tsamaase has crafted a stunning examination of abuse, cultural appropriation, and eternal hauntings.” —Tamika Thompson, author of The Curse of Hester Gardens

    “Taking aim at colonization, Tsamaase masterfully utilizes the gothic genre to blend the unfolding horror of the house with the horror of a brutal regime that destroyed people, culture, and land in ways that reverberate to this day. A stunning commentary that balances atrocity with art, House of Margins is a must-read for fans of gothic horror the world over.” —Maria Tureaud, author of This House Will Feed

    “The body horror and sci-fi elements work together beautifully, melding into a thrilling and thought-provoking p
