An oddly satisfying collection of quirky short stories.

The upcoming anthology delves into the peculiar and melancholic, with themes of surrealism and dark humour woven throughout. Characters navigate intricate relationships with all their imperfections on display. Even though the stories are short, characters are well crafted and very dynamic. Chang's idiosyncratic writing style immediately captured my attention, painting vivid and unforgettable scenes. Chong's writing style skilfully elicits a sense of awareness within the reader, a knowledge that there is something not quite revealed, hovering just beneath the surface. A perfect book to pick up and read one story at the time, as they are all thought provoking in their own way.

Highly recommended by respected short fiction authors, this release is sure to captivate readers when it arrives in stores next month.
