Overview

In 1649, French colonizers greet the generous Carib people of Grenada with open arms-and secret orders for genocide. From the ashes of a massacre and a desperate, sacrificial leap from a cliff, a curse is born into the soil. Years later, enslaved Africans are brought to work the conquered land, their suffering a constant, brutal offering. With each lash of the whip, each act of defilement, a shadow gathers on Hill Piton, drinking their pain. It is a passive, growing hunger born of unspeakable cruelty. When a child is sentenced to death for stealing bread to survive, that hunger awakens. The shadow rises-a being of darkness with eyes of fire and ocean, and lips stained with blood. It is ""the Jab."" The ""Diable Diable."" The living vengeance of a people. In one night of horrific, targeted slaughter, it purges the plantation of its masters, freeing the enslaved and marking the island forever. This is the origin story of a legend, a tale of how paradise was stolen, how a people were broken, and how their collective anguish forged a monster that would become the eternal, sleeping guardian of Grenada.

Author Information

Christopher Oliver Charles is a proud son of Grenada, for whom storytelling is as vital as the island's air and sea. For the past twenty years, he has served his community as a dedicated police officer, a role that has given him a unique and intimate perspective on the soul of his people-their resilience, their struggles, and the deep, often hidden, currents of their history. By day, he upholds the law of the land. By night, he is captivated by its lore. A lifelong lover of his rich Grenadian culture and an avid writer, Christopher explores the spaces where history and horror intertwine. He is fascinated by the unspoken legacies that shape the present and believes the most powerful stories are those risen from the very soil, demanding to be told. Devil Devil, Rise of the Jab is a project born from this deep passion, a chilling narrative that pulls directly from the historical roots of his homeland to ask a terrifying question: What if the land itself could remember? And what if that memory decided to take revenge? Christopher is the adoring husband to his wife, Sadia Taylor-Charles, and a proud stepfather to their four children. He lives in Grenada, drawing constant inspiration from its vibrant culture and haunting beauty. He can be contacted at: Tel:1473-459-1403 Email: cumbley83@gmail.com
