The Cursed Lovecraft Witch House is a captivating and eerie concept born from the imagination of H.P. Lovecraft, an influential writer of horror fiction. Lovecraft's stories are famous for their dark and otherworldly themes, and this particular concept is a prime example of his macabre genius. The witch house, often referred to as the "necromancer's abode," is an ancient structure imbued with unimaginable evil. Its foundations are steeped in supernatural lore and shrouded in mystery.
This book critically examines the relevance of the increasingly popular theories on relationality by interfacing those theories with the African [Shona] modes of engagement known as chivanhu [often erroneously narrowly translated as tradition]. In other words, the book takes seriously concerns by African scholars that much of the theories that have been applied in Africa do not speak to relevance and faithfulness to the continent. Situated in a recent Zimbabwean context marked by multiple crises producing multiple forms of violence and want, the book examines the relevance of relational ontologies and epistemologies to the everyday life modes of engagements by villagers in a selected district.
This is a book that would be extremely useful to scholars, activists, theorists, policy makers and implementers as well as researchers interested not only in Africa s future trajectory but also in the simultaneities of temporalities and worlds that were sadly overshadowed by colonial epistemologies and ontologies for the past centuries. From the shelves of mainstream bookstores and the pages of teen magazines, to popular films and television series, contemporary culture at the turn of the twenty-first century has been fascinated with teenage identity and the presence of magic and the occult.
Its foundations are steeped in supernatural lore and shrouded in mystery. The house is said to be cursed, its very existence a gateway to the terrifying dimensions beyond our comprehension. The cursed Lovecraft witch house stands as a testament to forbidden knowledge and forbidden practices.

The book unflinchingly surfaces the strengths and weaknesses of popular theories while at the same time underlining the exigencies of theorising from Africa using African data as the millstones. By meticulously and painstakingly unpacking pertinent issues, the book provides unparalleled intellectual grit for the contemporary and increasingly popular discourses on (de-)coloniality and resilience in relation to the African peoples and their [often deliberately contested] environments, past, present and future. In other words, the book loudly sounds the bells for the battles to decolonise and transform Africa on Africa’s own terms.
