Summary

A collection of supernatural-themed stories from a major Singaporean writer

A boy is given a girl’s name so that he can escape the attention of malignant ghouls.

A devout Catholic priest is suspected of hanky-panky with a submissive Chinese wife when she gives birth to an albino child.

A young girl student dies before her English examinations, but still manages to write an out-of-point essay for the Cambridge Syndicate.

From societal superstitions and the imagination come these 15 tales of the paranormal.

This title is being reissued under the new Marshall Cavendish Classics: Literary Fiction series, which seeks to introduce some of the best works of Singapore literature to a new generation of readers. Some have been evergreen titles over the years, others have been unjustly neglected. Authors in the series include: Catherine Lim, Claire Tham, Colin Cheong, Michael Chiang, Minfong Ho, Ovidia Yu and Philip Jeyaretnam.
