Prey of Gods

From a new voice in the tradition of Lauren Beukes, Ian McDonald, and Nnedi Okorafor comes The Prey of Gods, a
 fantastic, boundary-challenging tale, set in a South African locale 
both familiar and yet utterly new, which braids elements of science 
fiction, fantasy, horror, and dark humor.
In South 
Africa, the future looks promising. Personal robots are making life 
easier for the working class. The government is harnessing renewable 
energy to provide infrastructure for the poor. And in the bustling 
coastal town of Port Elizabeth, the economy is booming thanks to the 
genetic engineering industry which has found a welcome home there. 
Yes—the days to come are looking very good for South Africans. That is, 
if they can survive the present challenges:
A new hallucinogenic drug sweeping the country . . .
An emerging AI uprising . . .
And
 an ancient demigoddess hellbent on regaining her former status by 
preying on the blood and sweat (but mostly blood) of every human she 
encounters.
It’s up to a young Zulu girl powerful enough to 
destroy her entire township, a queer teen plagued with the ability to 
control minds, a pop diva with serious daddy issues, and a politician 
with even more serious mommy issues to band together to ensure there’s a
 future left to worry about.
Fun and fantastic, Nicky Drayden 
takes her brilliance as a short story writer and weaves together an 
elaborate tale that will capture your heart . . . even as one particular
 demigoddess threatens to rip it out.
