Ancestral Stories

In a village where the river remembers names and the soil listens, silence is never empty. Noziphozamandla (Gift of Power) returns home carrying a grief she does not yet understand-unaware that death has already crossed her path, that her bloodline hums with secrets older than language. At night, the drum begins to speak. Soft at first. Patient. Calling not to her ears, but to her spirit. Children chant where no children should be. Shadows move without bodies. And something small watches from the dark, waiting to be acknowledged. Rooted in South African ancestral lore and whispered truths of witchcraft, When the Drum Speaks is a slow-burning, unsettling journey into the unseen, where amadlozi (ancestors) walk beside the living, gifts are inherited in silence, and ignorance is the most dangerous curse of all. Some stories are read. Others are answered.

This ain't just a poetry book. This is a resurrection. Sorrows of a Phoenix is a raw, spiritual, and street-rooted collection of 114 long-form poems written for the soul that's had to burn just to breathe again. Jenny Booker's debut is a testimony : To grief, to womanhood, to rage, to healing, to rebirth. These poems are blunt. Unapologetic. Sacred. Written in the voice of a Black woman who's lived through abandonment, silence, survival, and spiritual awakening, this book unfolds in six sections:

Some things are buried for a reason. Some things call anyway. When Mara is stranded in a snowbound town, she never expects to find herself drawn into a family whose history feels unsettlingly familiar. Their land hums with something ancient. Their traditions carry echoes she can't explain. And the journal she's been raised to protect begins to reveal a story she was never meant to forget. As long-buried truths awaken, Mara is forced to confront what she is - and what the world once demanded of her kind. A power older than memory stirs beneath the mountain, calling wolves and vampires alike toward a fate shaped by hunger, protection, and choice. Caught between legacy and love, Mara must decide whether the past should be repeated... or finally laid to rest. The Things That Call Us is a quiet, emotionally driven fantasy about ancestry, belonging, and the courage it takes to answer a call without becoming consumed by it.

A prehistoric burial bog awakens when ancient, brain-preserved skeletons begin to stir beneath the water, revealing that the dead were never meant to be uncovered-or released.

In the isolated coastal town of Blackthorn Cove, the sea doesn't just drown-it *consumes*. Thirty years after the mysterious disappearance of star-crossed lovers **Mara Kane** and **Thomas Voss**, their children collide in a storm of secrets, betrayal, and sentient evil. **Liam Kane**, a marine biologist haunted by his mother's unsolved death, arrives to study a toxic algae bloom poisoning the cove's waters. **Elena Voss**, a journalist reeling from her father's suicide, returns to uncover his obsession with the town's ritualistic drownings. What they find is a conspiracy as deep as the ocean: the algae is alive, mutating, and driving the townsfolk to madness. As Liam and Elena unravel a trail of moonstone-marked corpses and encrypted journal entries, they discover their parents' doomed love affair-and a pact forged by the town's founders to feed the algae with sacrificial lives. But the deeper they dig, the more the water tightens its grip. Sheriff Clay Dunn's threats turn lethal. Hallucinations bleed into reality. And the algae, now sentient, whispers through the rain, demanding a new pair of souls to sustain its hunger. To survive, Liam and Elena must confront a truth more venomous than the tide: sometimes love is the deadliest toxin of all.
