I review Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories by Eugen Bacon. I received an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions my own. This anthology contains chilling tales and mind-bending stories.

![The Famished Road: Initial Impressions [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vJ8VyQXPlxg/hqdefault.jpg "The Famished Road: Initial Impressions [CC]
For the #BlackLiteratureChallenge, I read The Famished Road by Ben Okri. Im about 25-33% in, and heres what I think of it thus far. I make comparisons to Spirited Away directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi to help me process whats happening in this book.

Thanks to Sara Perkins for the idea of comparing #TheFamishedRoad to Freshwater!
