W. F. Howes will publish the audiobook edition of Cursed Daughters, the highly anticipated follow-up to Oyinkan Braithwaite’s global bestseller My Sister, The Serial Killer. This multi-narrator production features three celebrated Nigerian voice actors who bring this stunning story to life.

Captivating, dark, and wickedly funny, Cursed Daughters follows the story of Eniiyi, a young Lagosian woman who must shake off a curse that has plagued her family for generations. Is she destined to live out the habitual tragic story of love and heartbreak, or can she finally break the pattern once and for all?

Weruche Opia (I May Destroy You, Bad Education), who narrated My Sister, The Serial Killer—one of W. F. Howes’ top-selling audiobooks of 2018/2019—returns to spearhead the narration of Cursed Daughters. She will be joined by her sister, Nnei Opia Clark, and Diana Yekinni (Heart of Stone, Murder Island), with the trio lending their voices to the book’s three main protagonists. 

“I’m delighted to be teaming up with W. F. Howes again on the audio edition of my latest novel,” said Oyinkan Braithwaite. “My Sister, The Serial Killer was a big hit with fans, and Weruche’s authentic, pitch-perfect narration played an important part in its popularity. I can’t wait to hear how Weruche, Nnei, and Diana bring Cursed Daughters to life and lift it from the page.”

Habiba Sacranie, Senior Acquisitions Editor at W. F. Howes added: “Following the explosive success of Oyinkan’s first novel, Cursed Daughters is the book everyone is talking about this year. And it truly lives up to the hype – a spectacular novel poised to be another global triumph. While it was important to replicate the formula that made My Sister, The Serial Killer such a success on audio, we also wanted to add an extra dimension to highlight the multi-generational voices within the story. We’re thrilled to have Weruche back in the studio, this time joined by two talented actors who will enrich the listening experience for audio fans.”

The Cursed Daughters audiobook will be released on 25 September 2025 and is available for preorder now.
