CROWNS ROSES AND COFFINS A Fourth Collection of Five Stories "You never really know people until someone dies." When a towering family patriarch—a chief of ancient royal lineage—falls suddenly to a spiritual illness, the delicate boundary between two worlds completely shatters. What follows is not a quiet season of mourning, but an immediate, visceral descent into ancestral debt, systemic betrayal, and the heavy laws of the soil. Across five compact, interconnected snapshots of psychological and West African noir, the ultimate price of ambition is laid bare. From a rural village where the earth itself rises up to strangle a confession out of the guilty, to a silent bedroom where a final, terrifying midnight knock echoes through the running water, every choice demands an irreversible transaction. As opportunistic relatives and long-buried secrets emerge to clash over legitimacy and titles, the remaining family must navigate a treacherous landscape of grief, predatory ambition, and ancient spiritual warfare. Because in this world, power is not a gift—it is a crushing weight. Some will risk everything to grab for the crown; others will scatter roses across a polished marble grave; but in the end, the unyielding red earth claims its due.
