Africans stowed away on a slave ship are stalked by ancient evil...
Bohlale was the beginning of her bloodline's curse. Trickery and murder was her sin, and the Mimic, desperate to collect the blood offering vowed to it, accidentally crosses the path of an equally malevolent evil that now wants to claim Bohlale for her own, but as the two forces collide, the fate of Bohale's soul hangs in the balance as the other inhabitants of the ship will gladly sacrifice the young woman to save their own lives...
The Mimic is a mini story from the novel Horror Classics by Angel Berry
MIMIC An African Horror Story eBook Angel Berry
4.5 out of 5 starsThis is a very well written, imaginative tale which utilizes the story-within-a-story device with aplomb. Like bookends, the beginning and end of the story focus on Bongani, a man tormented nightly by a curse which has befallen every male member of this family for generations. These were, far and away, my favorite parts of the story!
The middle ground, while still well written, lost me a little bit (only a little though). The meat of this part of the story is how Bongani's ancestors came to be saddled with the Mimic's curse. Unfortunately, things got a little convoluted. For example, the introduction of yet another supernatural force competing with the Mimic had me scratching my head. I didn't understand this second force's motivations. But the writer's use of dialects in her dialogue was deft and made her secondary characters shine, which more than made up for any other issues I may've had with the story itself.
Overall, this is a really engaging short story, easily read in a single sitting. Well worth your time!

MIMIC An African Horror Story eBook Angel Berry Reviews
In the beginning, I hardly felt any connection with the story, nor did I relate to any of the characters... until we traveled back in time and learned how it all started.
I still wonder though... are they really part of African folklore? Is this short story based on tale which is passed on from generation to generation? Or is this plain fiction?
Either way, it was quite creepy and reminded me about some science fiction horror films I've seen over the years.
I received this book as a reviewer from The LibraryThing (which I love). Let me just say, it was wonderful! A great and delicious scare! This ebook is a scant 21 pages but in those pages I was absolutely terrified -- which is good when I digest horror for breakfast. Some writers are great storytellers but it takes them forever to get to the punch. Angel delivered a series of punches right up until the end. I will not go into detail because it is such a short story, but if you have an evening to kill (heh) please spend a horrifying evening with this book. You will enjoy.
From all of Angel's stories I read so far, I liked this one the best. It has a nice framing and explains everything in the middle. The only thing I didn't like is the language. I realize that to portrait old language, it has to be like this. Still, I have the same problem with another book I'm currently reading, even though the author of that book made the small screen. So it must just be me... ) Overall, I think this is a great story. Not too scary, can be read even at night.
This is a short story about a curse that follows the men in a particular family, it's devastating effects, and how it all came about.
I found the introductory section intriguing, but got a little lost during the "how it all came about" portion. In particular I didn't follow the supernatural character's motivations and why they came to any sort of deal. As such the short story lost a bit of it's impact for me.
