Call Me,
I’ll Hide
the Body.

The debut manuscript

About the work

Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body, sparked a 14-publisher auction in the United States, culminating in a multimillion-dollar winning bid. The manuscript was acquired in a six-figure deal following a multi-house auction in the U.K. It was also auctioned in Germany, and the Ukrainian rights were acquired.

“I drew on Yorùbá oral storytelling traditions while writing Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body.”
