Based on a bizarre but true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saint, Nicked is a fantastical, genre-defying, and delightfully queer historical romp"Miracles, marvels, saints, sinners, love, plague, and treachery! M. T. Anderson has laid out a medieval feast of a novel, stuffed with everything I could have wished for. If I could canonize him for it, I would. But I&’ll settle for shouting about how much I love this book."—Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love"M. T. Anderson is one of our greatest and most precious voices. His books aren't just brilliantly witty and vastly entertaining, they're fixed stars of wisdom and sanity in our increasingly unhinged universe. When lost, I use them to steer by."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians TrilogyThe year is 1087, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. When a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams, he interprets the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors, and the power brokers they serve, have different plans for the tender-hearted Brother Nicephorus.Enter Tyun, a charismatic treasure hunter renowned for &“liberating&” holy relics from their tombs. The seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick, Tyun says. For the humble price of a small fortune, he will steal the bones and deliver them to Bari, curing the plague and restoring glory to the fallen city. And Nicephorus, the &“dreamer,&” will be his guide.What follows is a heist for the ages, as Nicephorus is swept away on strange tides, and alongside even stranger bedfellows, to commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval novel noir, a meditation on the miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.

Nigerian Speculative Fiction: The Evolution (Studies in Global Genre Fiction)
by Chukwunonso EzeiyokeThis book is an exciting addition to a gap in non-Western genre studies of African fiction. It challenges the dominant canonicity of African literature, which is overshadowed by texts concerned with the colonial discourse and ‘writing back’ while exploring speculative themes in Nigerian fiction and writing that stem from an African cosmology and culture.The book examines important twentieth-century precursors of the post-millennial ‘boom’ in Nigerian Speculative Fiction (SF), reading texts that were omitted from the Nigerian literary canon developed in the 1960s. It combines an analysis of recent fiction and criticism with a historical overview of the development of the under-researched area of Nigerian SF. Through these readings, the author demonstrates the range of concerns explored by Nigerian SF including futurism, posthumanism, horror, fantasy, and science fiction, among others. This book argues that these narratives exceed the binary implicitly sustained by the texts that write back to the West and o-ers new readings of contemporary Nigerian SF; works that imagine futures di-erent from the past and present conditions imposed by capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.Providing new theoretical tools and concepts, this book in the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series will be of interest to readers and scholars working in the fields of African studies, African culture and society, literature and language, interdisciplinary literary studies, area studies, literary criticism, and genre studies.
