Hello,
My name is Kodjo Okweku, and I write Scary Stories for Teens and Young Adults.
While my stories are crafted to send shivers down your spine, they serve a deeper purpose: to teach life lessons about the darker truths of life and the complexities of human nature.
My passion for storytelling led me to pursue an academic background in literature, where I honed my understanding of narrative structure, character development, and the power of language. This foundation, combined with my experiences, allows me to craft stories that resonate deeply with readers.
I’m also a lifelong lover of cinema. Films taught me how to create atmosphere, suspense, and characters that linger in your mind long after the credits roll. I bring that cinematic flair to my writing, creating stories that are vivid, haunting, and full of meaning.
Through my books, I aim to help parents introduce their teenagers to life’s darker realities. While every parent naturally wants to shield their children from the shadows, I believe it’s crucial to eventually face those fears. My stories offer a safe, thoughtful way to explore these truths, encouraging caution in life, a deeper understanding of human nature, and the strength to navigate life’s challenges.
Welcome to my world of storytelling. I hope my tales spark curiosity, inspire reflection, and maybe even help you see the light within the darkness.
