Season of Crimson Blossoms is an adult fiction debut novel by Nigerian writer and journalist Abubakar Adam Ibrahim. The novel, set largely in the outskirts of Abuja, Nigeria, depicts an unusual salacious affair between the 55-year old widow Hajiya Binta and the 26-year old drug dealer and local gang leader Reza.

It was first published in Nigeria in 2015 by Parrésia Publishers. Later Cassava Republic acquired the rights for international publication and released it in Germany, Kenya, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. It was released in the United States in 2017.[1] The book won the 2016 Nigeria Prize for Literature, generally considered the biggest literary award in Africa, for best prose fiction.[2][3][4] It is one of the few internationally released Nigerian fiction novels that features Nigerian Hausa people and the Hausa language.
