The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years (2024)

A decaying Durban mansion brings a young girl's present into contact with an older love story and a djinn that has not let it go. Khan writes from an Indian South African community, giving the gothic house memories, inhabitants and textures beyond its haunting. Read for an intimate, multi-generational novel about grief and connection. Its supernatural presence belongs to a literary family story, rather than a fast confrontation with a monster.
