Fifteen dark tales of supernatural horror by Tunku Halim.
This volume gathers fifteen distinct narratives that explore the darker corners of human psychology and the supernatural. The stories range from a grieving father’s descent into violence to a teenager’s obsession with a beach-discovered skull. A diva-wannabe resorts to poisoning to achieve her singing dreams, while a sex-slave nurse employs lizards as weapons. The collection also includes a blood-sucking creature avenging a battered wife and an exorcism that fails catastrophically. Each tale is presented as a skeleton rattling its cage, emerging grinningly from the shadows. The author, Tunku Halim, crafts these narratives to embrace readers in nightmarish settings. The book does not offer redemption or hope, but rather presents a series of chilling encounters with monsters and madness.
Published by Penguin Random House Sea in 2023, this collection sits within the tradition of dark, imaginative, and spine-chilling fiction. It draws on gothic and supernatural themes to present stories that are both nightmarish and blood-dripping.
