kiney© writes historical horror, Black speculative fiction, and socially conscious science fiction that confront the stories America—and the world—would often prefer to bury. His work carries the immersive, character-driven dread readers may recognize in Stephen King’s fiction, but kiney©’s monsters do not only emerge from haunted hotels, dark woods, or small-town secrets. They rise from chain gangs, black operations, stolen land, racial violence, political betrayal, addiction, religious manipulation, and case files sealed away by institutions that expect history to forget. Where traditional horror asks what might be hiding in the dark, kiney© asks a more unsettling question: What if the horror has been in plain sight all along? In his fiction, ghosts may wear the faces of the forgotten, but they also live in legal codes, presidential memos, church pulpits, military secrets, and systems built to decide who is protected, who is believed, and who can be sacrificed. The jump scare comes when readers recognize that the most frightening parts of the story are often rooted in the real world.

Tales From the Darker Side
Tales From the Darker Side is kiney©’s Black science-fiction, horror, and Christian speculative-fiction universe. The series moves through conspiracy, history, myth, faith, trauma, and resistance to explore what happens when buried truths refuse to remain buried.

These stories examine the hidden cost of power and the people who endure after institutions fail them. Through supernatural horror and speculative imagination, kiney© confronts questions that reach beyond fiction:

Who gets believed when the truth is inconvenient?

Who is protected when power decides the rules?

What happens when faith is used to heal—and when it is used to control?

What survives when official history refuses to tell the whole story?

What changes when the people written out of the record begin speaking for themselves?

In works such as Vadoo: Tales From the Darker Side and The Pact of Sukkar, horror becomes a vehicle for exposing racism, conquest, greed, historical erasure, and spiritual corruption. The supernatural is not an escape from history. It is a way of making history impossible to look away from.

The American Experience
Through The American Experience, kiney© traces the historical, cultural, social, and political journey of Black Americans—from the legacy of enslavement to the continuing realities of inequality, resilience, service, faith, trauma, and cultural achievement.

These works are rooted in lives lived from the 1960s to the present. They draw from memory, military service, personal survival, and the collective experiences of Black Americans whose stories have too often been minimized, distorted, or told only through the eyes of others.

One: Defending America Through Service
In The Last Alamo, kiney© examines patriotism through the perspective of a person who served a nation that has not always protected, respected, or defended people who look like him.

The book asks what it means to wear the uniform, honor the oath, and defend a country whose promises have often been distributed unequally. It is a personal reflection on military service, sacrifice, belonging, and the complicated relationship between Black Americans and the idea of America.

Two: Surviving Trauma and Addiction
Twenty-Seven Years a Slave: A Memoir of Silence, Survival, and Grace confronts the lasting consequences of childhood trauma, addiction, silence, and survival.

The work does not romanticize pain. It shows how children can be left unprotected in environments shaped by violence, exploitation, poverty, addiction, and abandonment—and how untreated trauma can shape lives long after childhood ends. Yet it is also a story of endurance, accountability, healing, and the possibility of grace.

Three: Unmasking Patriotism
In Unmasking Patriotism: How African American Voices Shape America’s Identity, kiney© explores how Black Americans have challenged, expanded, and redefined the meaning of patriotism.

Drawing on the spirit of voices that refused to let America celebrate its ideals without confronting its contradictions, the work highlights the strength wrestled from hardship. It argues that a people can endure economic isolation, political marginalization, discrimination, and social exclusion—and still rise to reshape the nation’s moral identity.

Together, these books form The American Experience: an unapologetic re-storying of America through Black memory, Black survival, Black service, and Black courage.

Planet of the Races
The Planet of the Races series is kiney©’s expansive Black science-fiction saga about first contact, race, political power, and whether humanity can become worthy of peace when confronted by a civilization more advanced than itself.

The series begins when Captain ⨰i⋲, a Laranian extraterrestrial, arrives on Earth. Instead of treating him as a guest, governments and military institutions seek to control, weaponize, study, and exploit his presence.

In Opelousas, Louisiana, Joy Joseph and a community of ordinary people become central to protecting him. Their fight is not only against an alien threat. It is against secrecy, propaganda, state violence, racial hierarchy, and the belief that powerful institutions alone should control the truth.

The Core Conflict
In Episode One: Alien Amongst Aliens, Joy Joseph meets Captain ⨰i⋲ and discovers that the greatest danger does not come from the visitor from Lara. It comes from human institutions determined to turn first contact into a military asset.

Later books widen the story’s scope. Rise of the DiGital uNdeRgRouNd follows a growing grassroots resistance of coders, veterans, archivists, church members, and everyday citizens fighting official lies. When the Sky Called His Name centers on Roni Joseph, a gifted teenager from Louisiana whose difficult life has not broken his desire to become something more.

Roni refuses to let hardship define him. He wants a future beyond the destructive paths surrounding him, and he wants to make his mother proud. When he is chosen for a mission to Lara, his journey becomes a symbol of the possibility that a child from an overlooked neighborhood can carry wisdom, dignity, and hope into history.

Writing Toward the Future
At the heart of kiney©’s work is the belief that humanity’s greatest threat may not be alien invasion, supernatural evil, or distant monsters.

It may be humanity’s continued willingness to divide itself.

His stories explore the damage caused by racism, colonialism, greed, violence, and the misuse of faith and power. But they also make room for family, healing, courage, spiritual endurance, collective memory, and ordinary people who refuse to let truth disappear.

kiney© writes for readers who believe fiction can entertain, unsettle, challenge, and heal. His work insists that the future must include the people history tried to erase—and that the stories of survivors are not footnotes to America’s past.

They are part of the blueprint for what humanity can become.
