The Girl Behind the Door
1. The Whispering House In the overlooked town of Elmbrook—where the wind murmured like a overlooked bedtime song and the crows roosted like prophets—stood an ancient, exhausted house. It had no title, but everybody called it The Wilt House. Children strolled quicker close it; older folks whispered supplications; and those who had once challenged to trespass carried their hush like a mystery curse.

My Grandmother’s Mirror Only Reflects the Dead

James” by Percival Everett: A Bold Reclamation of the American Canon
In James, Percival Everett does what few living authors dare—he takes a towering classic of American literature and flips it inside out. The result is nothing short of electrifying. A radical reimagining of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Everett centers the story not on Huck, the mischievous boy narrator, but on Jim, the enslaved man whose humanity Twain only hinted at.

The Prince was fair in face and feared in sword, taught in the philosophies of men but untouched by the lives of those beneath him.

Shadows of Humanity
In the year 2075, the city of Nova Espera sprawled beneath a sky choked with ash, its neon lights flickering like the last breaths of a dying star. The world had fractured after the Great Collapse—decades of climate crises, wars, and unchecked AI had left humanity teetering. Amid the ruins, a new society emerged, divided between the gleaming towers of the Elite and the shadowed slums of the Forgotten. This is the story of Kael, a scavenger with a haunted past, and Aria, an android seeking her soul, whose unlikely bond would cast light on the shadows of humanity.
