  Abigail, a children's book author haunted by past traumas, returns to her childhood home to care for her ailing father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. 
  Shortly after her arrival, she is thrust into a nightmarish reality as she uncovers chilling family secrets. 
  Her journey becomes an intense battle for sanity, pulling her into a confrontation with her deepest fears and long-buried traumas. As she pieces together the past, she realizes her family's legacy is entwined with something far more sinister, leaving her to question what's real and what lies in the shadows of her mind. 
  This isn't a story about monsters in the closet. It's about the ones that linger behind your eyelids when you're too terrified to sleep. Within her father's unraveling mind and the suffocating walls of her childhood home, she senses something rotting, something watching. Each sleepless night pulls her deeper into a fractured reality where memory and hallucination blur, unearthing horrors that refuse to stay buried. 
  Relentlessly unsettling, Purgatory is a horror story without mercy-an exploration of memory, identity, and the terrifying possibility that once you've crossed certain lines, there's no coming back. The end of daze.

  In this play, Lady Windermere's idyllic life as the young wife of the rich Lord Windermere is disturbed by the rumour that her husband is visiting a lady of ill reputation, and is reportedly spending vast sums of money on her. When confronted with the fact, he fails to adequately explain himself, and furthermore insists on inviting said woman in question, Mrs Erlynne to her birthday ball that night! Distraught, Lady Windermere finds herself seriously entertaining the amorous advances of another man... but was is the truth behind the matter? And where, will her fan finally end up...?

  In the heartbeat of Boston, 18-year-old Merina dreams of escaping the gritty streets of Mattapan. Her world shatters when a seemingly innocent getaway spirals into a nightmare. Betrayed and assaulted by Jason, a charming yet sinister CEO, Merina is left for dead. But she survives, saved by a reclusive ex-military man, and emerges stronger as Killmel—a masked avenger seeking justice on her terms. As Killmel, Merina wages war against Jason and his corrupt empire, VAPEZ, built on lies and exploitation. With her fierce sister Serena, and allies like the reformed Bizzy B and his sister Gabriella, Merina challenges a system rigged to protect the powerful. Even Darius, her longtime friend, must confront his silence and complicity. "Error of Judgment" is a riveting blend of psychological drama and vigilante justice, taking readers from tense street battles to high-stakes courtroom showdowns. Alongside unforgettable characters like Katie, a whistleblowing assistant, and Eleanor, Jason’s defiant wife, the story becomes a symphony of resistance and a battle cry for the silenced. This gripping thriller is more than a tale of revenge; it’s a testament to resilience and sisterhood. Whether you dive into the eBook or the captivating audiobook, this story will stay with you, reminding us that justice doesn’t always wear a badge. Sometimes, it wears a mask. And sometimes, it looks like a girl who refused to die.

  A Debut collection from Black British poet A J Akoto. When is a mother a myth, and when is she a monster?
  In an intimate and unflinching collection, A J Akoto tracks the complex bind of mother-daughter relationships. Through separation and attempts to mend, longing, and the fluidity of myth/story-telling in defining histories and identities, she collapses the elision between womanhood and motherhood/daughterhood, bringing to the forefront that which usually remains unspoken.

  The World Keeps Ending and the...

  Franny Choi

  From acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds—past, present, and future. Choi’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival. 
  Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples. 
  With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  This book was written over a period of ten years. These poems are inspirational, they leave the reader with points to ponder. The book is inspired by real life experiences and stories from those around me. The book covers a wide range of topics from family dynamics, love, oppression, xenophobia, discrimination. It touches on issues, that people are not comfortable sharing. The book cover was painted by a great friend, whom I consider a sister, a Kenyan painter and art entrepreneur Wanjiru Kibera. We met in France 10 years ago. So I hope this book will be a full artistic encounter, that will enrich and touch  your soul. I hope it will cause reflective thinking.  
  As, for me the author, I have a Bachelor's degree in French Theatre and Cinema, both practical and theoretical (Arts du Spectacle/Performing Arts) from the prestigious French University : Université de Grenoble Alpes.
