On the Ceiling

A fictional series of short stories; a modern take on the legends of Kwaku Ananse.

The OTC series has been my major storytelling project of 2017. I’ve released one story at the end of every month from May to December. All stories are available as free, downloadable, mobile-friendly PDFs. (Update: individual stories are no longer available, but you can download them all in a single PDF collection on my OTC site.)

(By the way, the cover illustration is by the dope artist, Xane Asiamah. Follow him on Instagram!)
