A tale of Nagaland folklore, of eternal darkness and of fulfilling one’s destiny. 'RICH AND CREATIVE STORYTELLING… HER EERIE PROSE CONVEYS AN AIR OF MENACE THAT DRAWS THEREADER IN.' The Lady 'A COMPELLING READ… I LEARNT TO READ SPIRIT NIGHTS WITH MYINNER EYE.' Morning Star A tiger has eaten the sun, plunging Tola’s village into perpetual night time. Her people are confined to their homes, frightened and isolated. A terrible taboo has been violated to cause this disaster. But the wise elder has dreamed of this day, and her grandson Namu is eager to help. Only through journeying into unknown spirit realms, and acting with wisdom and courage, can they get the light back. Easterine Kire is the first Nagaland novelist to write in English, and draws on real Naga tribal stories for this novel. Spirit Nights includes an essay about these ‘Dark Time Accounts’ and additional informative notes.
