Announcement: SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES (Sins of the Father: Echoes of Umuagu) Now Available!
Greetings, Readers!
I am thrilled to announce that the Ebook Paperback Editions of SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES (Sins of the Father: Echoes of Umuagu) is now available on Amazon. You can order your copy using the link provided.
Prepare to be captivated and unnerved as "SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES", an anthology of mystery and horror, debuts in the first quarter of 2025 on Amazon in both Ebook and Paperback formats.
The Second Tale, "SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES"(Sins of the Father: Echoes of Umuagu) is a gripping tale of legacy, betrayal, and the supernatural, set against Africa's vibrant yet shadowed landscapes. At its heart is Chinwe Okafor, an investigative journalist uncovering her family’s dark past, a labyrinth of guilt, buried truths, and a devastating ancestral curse.
Weaving vengeful spirits, eerie whispers, and blood rituals with the psychological struggles of its characters, the story explores the generational cycles of sin and the cost of confronting long-buried secrets. Both chilling and thought-provoking, it asks whether redemption is possible and what it takes to break free from the past.
Welcome to Umuagu, where history whispers, and no secret stays hidden forever.
A Sneak Peek from Chapter 5, Scene 5:
"In the pitch-black basement, whispers turn into screams as icy fingers brush Chinwe’s neck. The flashlight dies, and a twisted figure with burning eyes lunges from the shadows. The air explodes with shrieks, its face a terrifying reflection of ancestral anger, pulling her into a dark world of fear and guilt."

Happy Reading!
Anselm Eme,
Get ready, friends, for a story that will chill your bones and stir your heart.
SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES returns with its Fourth Tale,
“The Hyena’s Bride: Tales From Enugu-Ezike” so that whether you read with your eyes or your hands, the story will find you.
This is not just another tale.
It is a journey into the deep red earth of Enugu-Ezike, where the ground drinks secrets like palm wine, and the hills hum songs that even the wind fears to carry.
Here, the living dance with the unseen, and the line between man and beast is thinner than the thread in a weaver’s loom.
"When the moon is full, the hyena laughs, and the wise man bolts his door," the elders say, their voices cracking like old firewood.
In this land, marriage is not always between hearts. Sometimes, it is a bargain, spirit joining with flesh. Wealth flows like river water, but the price is counted not in coins, but in bloodlines.
"He who marries a stranger weds the unknown," the people of Enugu-Ezike warn.
Yet even so, greedy hearts still trade daughters for whispered promises and golden lies.
Obianuju, a woman born from humble soil, is given to a man who is more legend than flesh.
A hunter wrapped in shadow, whose laughter is never heard under the sun.
They said he could not die.
They said his children would never bleed.
But in this land, truth wears many masks, and not all of them are kind.
Buried deep in tradition and hunger for riches is a dark secret, a family cursed by an ancient appetite, hidden beneath the bright cloth of wealth and silence.
"The gourd that holds the forbidden brew must never be shaken," the elders say.
But some thirsts… they cannot be denied.
And when old doors are broken and sacred oaths torn, the hills of Enugu-Ezike awake, singing songs of blood and betrayal.
A mother must choose: her love for her children or the curse that runs in their veins.
A village must face the sins it has buried under dance, laughter, and bride price coins.
In “SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES (The Hyena’s Bride: Tales From Enugu-Ezike),” you will walk the red dust roads where loyalty cuts like a knife, where laughter can turn into snarls, and where forgetting the old ways costs you in howls beneath a blood-red moon.
"The hyena may wear the cloak of a man, but his laughter will always betray him."
So the elders say.
Come close now.
This is a tale stitched from shadows.
Listen well.
Because the hills... they remember.
A Taste From Chapter Five:
"Her ears ring with silence so deep it presses against her skull. And then. A breath. Heavy and wet, like a beast exhaling behind her neck. Slowly, fear chewing her insides raw, Obianuju turns. Oduma stands there… his face neither man nor beast but something trapped between. Hyena jaws. Human eyes.”
