With a nod to Samuel Beckett and Bohumil Hrabal, a young dramatist from a West African nation describes a student protest against a brutal oligarchy and its crushing aftermath. While distributing leaflets with provocative quotations from Beckett, Ito Baraka is taken to a camp where torture, starvation, beatings, and rape are normal.

As you enter the abyss the only sound you'll hear is the ticking of the clock. In this collection of tales time will not be your ally. Here you will face the fury of the elements, sinister supernaturals and Hell itself. Lucifer lurks in the vast darkness. A Rougarou howls somewhere nearby but its hard to tell where it came from. A chill runs up your spine as Jack Frost is nipping at your nose. Goosebumps ripple across your skin as a familiar humming hits your ears and fear grips your heart.
