haunted by nightmares of a masked murderer and four gruesome

series of bodies are discovered near her school bearing wounds that
are disturbingly familiar she finds herself drawn back into the
world of her father's frightening creations. Something twisted is

her go. With electrifying art from Eisner Award-nominated artist
Claudia Aguirre, and even more horror than ever before, fans won't

But no matter how much fun Jacky has, she can't entirely escape her worries. So one starlit night, she makes a promise to keep her family together...even if she has to give up the one thing that makes her happy. But can she stop being Jacky Ha-Ha, if that's who she really is?
Bright, funny, and fast-paced artwork will have readers laughing their way through Jacky's ha-ha-heartwarming story!

There have been many great and enduring works of literature by
Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary
Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories,
overflowing with life and acute observations about society. A
sparkling collection of short stories set in Trinidad. Anthony
takes our hand and walks us from the valley of the lush, green
cocoa trees, to taste the sweet rivers flowing nearby. We pluck
fruit from the sapodilla tree and feel the crisp, brown guava
leaved carpet crunch under our feet. We see Mayaro and Port of the
Spain through the eyes of childish innocence and grown-up
ignorance. Beautiful, evocative and poignant, the stories are
sprinkled with themes of yearning for home, sad realisations and a
longing for a pre-modern totality.
