Riot Baby is a science fiction novella written by Nigerian American author Tochi Onyebuchi published in 2020.

Ella’s powers grow as she ages; she has seizure-like episodes that cause furniture to fly around and harm nearby onlookers.

After eight years of imprisonment, Kev is released on parole and decides to move back West.

Ella becomes increasingly angry with the violence and racial discrimination directed against Black Americans.

In a series of increasingly abstract and violent images, Ella and Kev plan to use their powers to forge a better world for Black people.
