'Pemi Aguda's debut novel "One Leg on Earth" follows a young pregnant woman in Lagos who becomes entangled with mysterious pregnant women drowning themselves while working at an architecture firm developing coastal real estate. The work blends eco-horror, cosmic dread, and maternal uncanny themes to explore motherhood, bodily autonomy, and resistance to capitalist development through deliberately ambiguous supernatural imagery.
