Jesse Chinedu is a Nigerian author whose novels explore the institutions, families and power structures that consume the people within them. Working across gaslamp fantasy, mafia romance, gothic horror, epic fantasy and contemporary romance, Chinedu creates stories that pair imaginative settings with intense personal and political conflicts.
