I Have read all 4 of his novels & I find his first ( The White Boy Shuffle) & his last (The Sellout) to be his best works, though his other two novels have their strong points. I have not read his book on African American humor or his poetry. If you like sharp edged satire you will probably like his work.

Here is a comment from TED who appear to be distancing themselves from comments Hancock made during a recent TEDx talk I have not yet watched the video, I plan to watch it this evening. Published on Jun 8, 2016 NOTE from TED: Please be aware that this talk contains outdated and counterfactual assertions, and should not be understood as a representation of modern scholarship on ancient civilizations. If ancient civilizations interest you, TEDx Talks contain many fascinating and well-researched talks such as: Sarah Parcak's talk on space arachaeology at TEDxYale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKzs... Leslie van Gelder's talk on cave art at TEDxQueenstown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYGPc... Sarah Kenderdine's talk on museums of the future at TEDxGateway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXhtw... Since 2007, compelling evidence has been published in leading scientific journals confirming that fragments of a disintegrating giant comet struck the earth around 12,800 years ago. The impacts set in motion a mysterious 1,200-year global deep freeze that caused worldwide extinctions of species. Established theories about the emergence of civilization cite the invention of agriculture and monumental architecture some 11,600 years ago—immediately after the freeze. In this controversial presentation, best-selling author Graham Hancock argues that archaeologists, by not accounting for the cataclysm, have gravely misinterpreted history. What the record attests to is not the sudden invention of technology, but a transfer of technology to hunter-gatherers from a more advanced civilization. British writer and journalist, Hancock specialises in unconventional theories involving ancient civilisations, stone monuments or megaliths, altered states of consciousness, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is a posited global connection with a "mother culture" from which he believes all ancient historical civilisations sprang. Graham sees himself as a journalist who asks questions based upon observation and as someone who provides a counterbalance to what he perceives as the "unquestioned" acceptance and support given to orthodox views by the education system, the media, and by society at large. His books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated to 27 languages.

Upper middle class LOL! You know I sell books to black people for a living don't you? I'm not exactly rolling in the dough over here. I made a colossal financial sacrifice leaving the "big house" to run this site full-time. In fact as an entrepreneur I learned a great deal more about how this country works, how the poor are treated how not having a lot of money really substantially changes your prospects for success in this country I have now a lot more sympathy for people who never made a lot of money and have no realistic prospects for ever doing so. The other problem is most of us derive our financial wealth due to the largess of white folks, we serve at their pleasure for very few of us have the ability to provide real jobs for other black folks. The website's traffic this year will be higher than any year before it. But I will also pay writers less this year at the rate I'm going, it will be less than I have in the last 7 or 8. Google, Amazon, and mainstream publishers are all paying less. Even as an entrepreneur committed to serving black people (or those interested in learning about our culture) my site's survival depends upon the very same corporate entities that I complain about so much. If history is any indicator, the really sad part is that if I relied solely on black folks I doubt the site could survive. I'm working to buck the historical trend but it is exceedingly difficult when you have to compete against the likes of Facebook and Snapchat...

Very interesting post. Are the different segments of the collage based on research as well to the stories? I don't like horror, but I sure like the paranormal. By the way, the title "The Zenith Power" is a great name numerologicallly, which equals 15, the number of the magician and luck. Relates to the paranormal. Aptly chosen.
