Catherine Lim

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.

They Do Return... But Gently Lead Them Back

Michael Chiang

The story of one terrified National Serviceman’s comic misadventures during Basic Military Training. From the traumas of enlistment to the joys of field training, The New Army Daze details every faltering step in an 18-year-old’s journey into manhood. Essential reading for old soldiers, new soldiers, and anyone who has ever watched an army commercial. “One of those uniquely Singaporean books which will make us laugh at ourselves and our lot.” (Sunday Times)
