Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
C. H. Zudes writes about the challenges the youthful generation
face in Africa. This politically active gene pool of talent and
ambition are on more than one occasion misunderstood and seldom
empowered in Africa, causing the continent dire consequences and
gross economic losses year in year out. Phantom House Books NGR
Chris OzoudeYouthhood in Africa systematically locates and dissects
African authoritarianism, lifestyle as well as communal ignorance
before seeking to persuade and motivate the youths to take life
matters into their own hands, for according to the innovate author,
NO OTHER CAN CHANGE AFRICA save the youths.

A disheartening tale of a young boy who grows into maturity only to
find life as not the fairy tale he expects it to be. In a fictional
society, synchronous to modern systematic Nigeria, The Prisoner of
Afrika reflects on the gross misconduct and blatant inequity eating
at the heart of many African states, the rise, the fall, and the
toppling of governments, as well as the idiosyncratic cycle of debt
and hardship that plagues such societies and impairs its surviving
youth. This work of fiction is one to look out for in the coming
years as the author artfully paints a portrait of a country we more
than know too well. Happy Reading Enjoy
A twelve year old native is offered to the gods in the bushes of
precolonial Africa by fire. She returns in vengeance only to
discover a new band of colonialists attempting to entreat the
natives, and in turn worm their way into the British Cameroons. A
most fortuitous happening, as the spirit child conspires to skin
off the wiry tension between the colonialists and the natives and
kindle the explosion that initiates her revenge. Published and
Distributed By Phantom House Halloween Phantom House Books NGR
House L, National Assembly Estate, Dape District, Abuja. Nigeria.
Not all children were meant to survive the cold desert Arctic. The
Malagwan knew that. They kill off newborns too weak to live in the
community. But, it came at a price. Displaced spirits now haunt the
icy grounds of Malagwa waiting the perfect opportunity to tip the
balance of fate in their destructive favor. The Jenagoa may look
childlike and playful, but these misty children are hardly how they
seem; downright nasty and vengeful spirits with a score to settle
and willing to do anything to Itherica back to them. Even if it
means burying Malagwa and all the eskimos under a sea of solid ice
for the life of the 8-year old demon child.
Somewhere at the edge of the world, they've been sleeping for
thousands of years. Frozen in a cramped prison along the cold water
coast of Africa in what the others have come to know as Hell's
Cove, an underwater cave forsaken by time and carefully watched
night and day. You know them as dragons, but the others call them
Belamir - creatures they put to sleep for the primary purpose of
gestating humankind, and creatures that should never be allowed to
see the light of day for the sole purpose of preserving this little
haven in the universe the way the seraphs know it. Yet, despite all
the celestial gimmickry and cross-dimensional malignancy, they have
awoken. And intend to set right where they have been wronged. To
take back what was by original design-with dragons on top and every
other existent in their shadow. More so, it's common knowledge that
humans and their glorified civilization will be first on that list.
3 to the power six light-years away, two brothers from south of the
country find themselves propelled into the deep chasm of what is to
be our world's future event; a cataclysmic variable that forces our
galaxy to turn on itself and devour every living thing on the
planet. Whatever survives the unmitigated desolation however, the
earth leaves to rot or continue to exist vicariously through
evolution for thousands upon thousands of years. Our only hope is
attributed to be a false one; a single thread of prophesy strung
and frayed through many eras by what is now left of the human race,
and known to our grand descendants as the prophesy of the surrogate
reality. A prophesy that tells of two aliens destined to either
salvage what we've made of humanity or watch us fall to extinction.

Cry is a compilation of poems about nature, our attitude towards
it, our abuse of it and the reconciliatory steps we need to take to
stop its abuse. The pieces of literature are deliberately didactic
though profound, and sometimes within a step or two esoteric in
this work of art and nature This young author lives with sickle
cell anaemia and believes this hereditary condition to be his
inspiring cause for the all out love and appreciation for life and
nature he's gained; a trait the author believes we will all do well
in emulating without needing a personalized crisis session of
course. Happy Reading. Enjoy
They show him a rare talent, it changes him. A fire causes him to
use that very talent against them. Can he overcome his own mind
before it is too late?
The following story is a work of fiction inspired by The Book of
Revelation. The story itself is not biblically accurate, but it is
intended so that you may read the scripture for yourself, so that
you may receive your own understanding and walk a little closer
with God. I suggest that when you read this manuscript; you have a
Bible handy. This is not a novel written for Christians or for
anyone that takes their walk with God seriously. The novel is
written for the world. It is written in plain and stark language.
It will discuss and touch upon subject matter that most will find
to be offensive and politically incorrect. The world is a harsh
place now. It is NOT going to get better when the 144,000 are taken
up and we're left to our own devices. It is this vision of the
world that I wished to portray here without any sugar coating.
Don't be fooled, it is a vision of the future that is very possible
given today's circumstances. It can happen, whether you like it or
not This novel begins with 'The Prophecies of Avrahim' and finishes
with 'Three Tales of Tribulation' and 'The Last - Held 4 Ransom'. I
wrote 'Three Tales of Tribulation' and 'The Last - Held 4 Ransom'
to be concurrent stories so I have separated the overlapping
chapters with the title in the heading to avoid confusion and help
you follow the storyline better.
