Book Description:
Evil awaits. You see it in your neighbour’s glimmering eyes. You hear it in the footsteps at the dead of night. You smell it in the frangipani blossoms on a wet lonely road.
It hides in all shapes and guises. The fiendish bomoh ... a murderous Datuk ... a vengeful long-haired spirit ... the psychotic colleague ... and a naked bloody vampire.
It restlessly awaits in this haunting selection of Tunku Halim’s dark and gripping stories.
TUNKU HALIM, with 13 books to his name, may very well be Malaysia’s most prolific author in the English language. He has written five non-fiction books and five supernatural thrillers: two novels and three collections of stories.
His first novel, Dark Demon Rising, was nominated for the 1999 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and his second novel, Vermillion Eye, is used as a study text in the Language and Literature course at the National University of Singapore. He was also awarded first prize in The Fellowship of Australian Writers short-story competition in 1998.
Born in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, in 1964, the author is a lawyer by training. He has worked for a property developer in Kuala Lumpur and as legal counsel for a software company in Sydney.
