I’m a Rwandan-Nigerian writer, who has been writing speculative fiction since childhood. My stories of the African fantastic have been published in Lightspeed Magazine’s People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction (British Fantasy Society Award for Best Anthology), and The Manchester Review, among other places.
My stories are inspired by African legends and myths. I believe Africa’s diverse histories, religions, spirituality and mythologies can serve as a never-ending treasure trove of inspiration for African speculative fiction.
I love writing stories of the African fantastic, and I am publishing them on Patreon for free: https://www.patreon.com/dayontwari
If you love reading them, then your support will allow me to continue writing them.

- Omoshango, published in the People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction special issue of Lightspeed Magazine (British Fantasy Award 2017 for Best Anthology)
- Devil’s Village, shortlisted for the Writivism 2015 Short Story Prize

- Mother’s Love, longlisted for the 2015 Short Story Day Africa Prize (Reprinted in The Manchester Review)
