May Wilson, a French-Cameroonian writer and poet born in Douala. She grew up immersed in books and graphic novels and later developed a passion for international relations.

Since 2025, May has dedicated herself entirely to writing. She favors the thriller genre, creating narratives where characters confront their own limits and struggle to articulate difficult emotions, and where conflicting perspectives clash.

She enjoys stories involving investigations and characters who are overwhelmed by events—often deeply scarred, yet somehow managing to move forward. Her characters inhabit murky worlds that are frequently on the brink of implosion.

Ce livre m'a tellement marqué qu'il est devenu un de mes livres préférés. Il se lit vite, on s'attache au personnage principal tout en se demandant comment et pourquoi il continue de prendre d'aussi mauvaises décisions. ...more

It is a classic that pulls you back anytime you think about it. I enjoyed the movie(s), but the graphic novel is forever the best version of it.

Quotes by May Wilson  (?)

“I can't give you all my tears, not even when I want to give you storms and hurricanes…
Not even when I want to beat the pulp out of you for making me feel this way…
Not when I want to get rid of my own self,
For simply existing... For having believed only for a second that it could have been possible.
I am ashamed; I am upset. I am quiet. I am resigned. I let it be, and I feel numb.”
May Wilson, The Misadventures of Eros and Thanatos: A tale of Hope, Despair, Love and Death

“Love grows; Love takes time. It's an endless hike when you think of it. Love slowly fills up your heart, and in the blink of an eye, you've built something.”
May Wilson, The Misadventures of Eros and Thanatos: A tale of Hope, Despair, Love and Death

“I'm exhausted... yet hopeful.
And this Hope makes me want to wake up to see another day, work hard to make ends meet, and make sure I am still moving.”
