Grippings

A collection of Chocolate Fiction

A fresh idea. A clean start. A fresh outlook. A new optimism for the future. A hope that things do not have to continue along the present path. Having a clean slate, an unblemished starting point like those just mentioned grants us the opportunity to undo the past and take an unbiased look at the world in which we live. In GRIPPINGS, a poignant and remarkable collection of new fiction from gifted writer Eddrick Jerome, we are given just that.

In these pages, Jerome unveils for us a fresh panorama of the world in which we live and grants us a view of society through the eyes of the outsider.

From the stark realities of "Xmas" and "Xmas II" to the mournful familiarity of "The Decision", from the base and basic "Mercy" to the rollicking ribbing of "Yo Mama", Jerome has taken our perception of the role of the black man in society and placed it under a microscope for inspection, examination, and acceptance.

With it's incisive and familiar insights, GRIPPINGS delivers a very powerful and touching look at our society and it's treatment of its own.
