BOOK REVIEW: Popular Ghost Stories by Andrew Lee
Malaysia and Singapore share at one thing in common besides things like food, culture and its people: the believe of the supernatural. We love to talk about our personal experiences, be it brushes with the unseen or even stories carried on by people.
In this debut collection of chilling tales, the author presents a range of macabre—and at times gruesome—stories from Malaysia, along with a selection of readers’ letters recounting their own supernatural encounters.
Nothing sparks conversation quite like an old-fashioned ghost story told on a dark night. These remarkable tales delve into the strange, the unusual, and the truly spine-chilling.
Discover stories ranging from an inexplicable crime scene with a headless body marked by claws, to a student trapped in a living nightmare, an unsettling meeting with a fortune teller, a weeping raintree, and a sinister baby with razor-sharp teeth.
Personally, I felt these stories were way too tame for my liking, almost bordering on pure childish renditions of fear. If you're someone who is a hardcore horror freak like myself, this book isn't worth a read. However, for those who are just starting out on their fear journey, this book might be right up your alley.
