Since birth, everyone has told Pecola Robinson that she was ugly, unwanted, and unworthy of being loved or loving herself. And Pecola had accepted this as fact. Thus, she has always tried to change and shrink herself so that she could be accepted by people, even adopting the name Robin as her preferred name to get people to love her while simultaneously allowing her to disappear and hide within and from the world of Eagleland. However, a year-long study abroad experience living amongst the Finali people across the globe presents Pecola the opportunity to take responsibility for her own happiness by moving on to heal from her trauma with the support of other women in her life or continue being defined by her trauma and existing as the tolerated good girl known as Robin. cover by cil @sereneur GENERAL | LITERARY | BLACK SPECULATIVE FICTION tw: trauma; gendered violence/intimate violence; anxiety/depression

To some people, the first thing that comes to mind at the hearing of the name ' AKPOS ' is a naughty, witty and a Smart ( not in a good way) kind of boy; well at least that's what the teachers and the school authorities make out of him. Little wonder why a kid named Chinedu Nwuokeke from Brights College has been ascribed the name ' AKPOS KEKERE '. He was given the name ' Kekere ' because of his small stature, and the name Akpos because of his cheeky and funny behaviour. Yet despite the clown and jester that people think he makes out of himself, Chinedu Nwuokeke, or should I say Akpos Kekere is actually SMARTER than you think! And you might be surprised to find out that he's even smarter than you. You don't believe me! Then why don't you read the book, ' Are you smarter than Akpos? ' and explore pages filled with jokes and hilarious short stories and trust me you'll begin to see Akpos differently.

A collection of really short psychological horror stories as a tiny extention to my latest release 'After Hours'. These stories explore the mysteries of human nature in a gory and dark way. These stories don't really follow any kind of genre or story line when looked at as a broader perspective; but do give an insight on my 12:00am dark thoughts as I type each one of in the comfort of my bed! Feel free to comment on each story to let me know what kind of story you would like to read next! It can be in the form of a prompt, a line, a genre or anything you please! Looking forward to updating this at least twice a week! Check it out! These stories can remind you that everything is not as it seems to be.
