Megan Kamalei Kakimoto cracks open the glossy postcard version of Hawai‘i to reveal a world pulsing with ancestral memory, feminine rage, and surreal beauty. This electrifying debut story collection blurs the lines between myth and modern life—where a woman’s body becomes a battleground after a ghostly encounter with a wild pig, an aging widow is visited by her dead lover through a monstrous bloom, and a writer’s unfinished manuscript begins to take on a terrifying life of its own.
Merging the sensual with the supernatural, and the political with the deeply personal, Kakimoto crafts a bold, genre-defying portrait of Native Hawaiian identity in a land shaped by colonization, secrecy, and resistance. Fierce, dreamlike, and unforgettable, this is not just a book—it’s an invocation.
