Tuala and Other Horrors

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tuala looks like you and me-human, that is-but something is not right. Trapped on earth, an offspring of a union of human and fae, Tuala has gossamer wings on her back masquerading as tattoos. When she gets hangry, she turns into something other than her sweet seductive svelte self. She needs to be sated so she can earn her earthly upkeep as a sex worker in sweltering Kuala Lumpur. She must imbibe humans-whole, body and soul, all the blood and juices. Vampiric, when she feels like it, she will bestow some of her faerie attributes into humans. In other strange Malaysian stories, a man expecting to have died wakes up still living and meets the entity responsible; a neighbor more than minds a child; Red Riding Hood gets a makeover to a Malaysian dystopia; the death of a husband spells more than loss; a father confronts foreign invaders; a Goldilocksian home invader must eat to survive; train passengers witness an accident; ghosts cross-dress, and others at a church get nostalgic.
