Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria’s Queer Men Speak tells the
stories of a marginalized community in their own words. These
collected narratives include stories of love, heartbreak,
tenderness, and struggle, and show that there is no one universal
queer experience. Â Love Offers No Safety also serves as an
exploration of what it is to be a man – how societal pressures
foster toxic masculinity, and the barriers this creates for
learning to understand one another.

An anthology of noir stories set in the tumultuous metropolis,
Lagos. Edited by Chris Abani, this collection brings together brand
new stories from some of Nigeria's best loved writers. From the
introduction by Chris Abani: The thirteen stories that comprise
this volume stretch the boundaries of "noir" fiction, but each one
of them fully captures the essence of noir, the unsettled darkness
that continues to lurk in the city's streets, alleys, and
waterways...Together, these stories create an unchartered path
through the center of Lagos and out to its peripheries, revealing
so much more truth at the heart of this tremendous city than any
guidebook, TV show, film, or book you are likely to find.

Based in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Unbridled chronicles the
story of a young woman, Ngozi, who suffers various aspects of abuse
from her family. Ngozi Akachi is a somewhat regular village girl of
exquisite beauty, light-skinned and haunted by the strange storm
that ravages her village on the night of her birth - a story her
mother would tell her repeatedly. She is sent to Lagos to live with
an uncle after her innocence was snatched away from her by a member
of her family. In Lagos, she suffers cruelty from her aunt and
forges a strange friendship with another girl, Tiffany Okoro, who
comes from a different world all together. And so her strange
journey in life's lessons begins - a journey that would lead her
eventually to England and the many trials she would face until she
finds her true voice.
Ebele Njoko had survived a forlorn and poignant childhood,
concealing a secret he could not explain and craving the love and
approval of his parents. Years later he reinvents himself and is
now known and respected as Adrian Njoko, father, husband, brother
and mentor. One phone call and his life as he knows it is changed
forever. In coming to terms with his dark secret Adrian is forced
to choose between keeping his family or accepting a life of
possible loneliness and rejection.
