This #Halloween meet new creatures from African #folklore.
In Congo they call lightning Nzazi, and it takes the form of a kind of a dog, either red or black, with shaggy hair and a curly tail. When it comes down it gives one sharp bark – ta! – and with the second bark it goes up again. No charm can protect against it and no medicine person can avert its attack.
This book, free to download, has more wonderful monsters like this!
