Superstition and exploitation has been an integral part of human life and experiences which many writers have delved into this subject matter. Superstition is the outcome of human fears and imagination whereas exploitation is of greed and selfishness. This work therefore aims at exploring superstition and exploitation as a subject matter in Faith Ben- Daniels' A Quarter Past Midnight and Amma Darko’s The Housemaid. The study draws references from the library and the internet to aid in the critical study of this subject matter. The researcher hopes to highlight on the causes and effects of these menaces and to help in minimizing if not eradicating it.
