Description
At Night All Blood is Black is a haunting novel that explores the darker side of human nature during World War I. When a young Senegalese man is forced to fight for the French army, he is faced with an impossible choice: kill his friend or watch him suffer a slow and agonizing death. As the lines between loyalty, madness, and morality blur, the protagonist embarks on a desperate and deadly quest for revenge and forgiveness.

With its unique blend of oral storytelling traditions and gritty, journalistic horror, this novel offers a fresh and unsettling perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in history. With its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of war, At Night All Blood is Black is a powerful and thought-provoking read that will leave you questioning the true meaning of heroism and the darkness that can lurk within us all.
