If the movie IT 2 didn't already give me the heebie jeebies then this book definitely did. Times Reads certainly put a smile on my face considering I'm a stickler for all things horror. Malaysia's very own Stephen King, my all time favorite king of horror, Tunku Halim, has outdone himself once again.
Tunku Halim is one of Malaysia's most acclaimed authors, and yes, I would like to stress it once again, especially in the horror genre. His scream-inducing tales of terror will set even the bravest heart screaming for the hills.
20 shadowy tales from Asia's Stephen King will make you tremble under the covers (and this is barely a joke, I had many a sleepless night after reading the stories).
Within these quivering pages you will encounter the beautiful wife who keeps returning from the dead,a book seller with a cursed book collection, a bewitching hermaphrodite, a terrifying demon unknowingly unleashed, a village where were-tigers abound and many more spine-chillers of the night.
Written over a period of 2 decades, these dark stories are feats of mystery and imagination that will keep you turning the pages, until you scream to the shadows....
Masterfully spun to ignite the flames of fear, this is one book that will certainly make you shed tears of unrelenting fright. If this book were to be given a rating of 5 stars, I would give it an exceeding 100 over 5 stars. It was that good!
Times Reads also never fails to appreciate their reviewers and this time they have given book lovers like me an extra reason to be joyful. I was gifted with an excerpt from David Yoon's upcoming novel, Frankly in Love (which I will be giving a brief run-up in my next blog post) and also 4 beautiful bookmarks to place in each of my books. Thanks Times Reads!
