Taking us from the mundane to the magical, this award-winning
collection will entertain and delight. Drawing inspiration from
Asian myth and folklore, Zen Cho guides the reader through
enchanted realms inhabited by dragons, vampires and incorrigible
grandmothers. These nineteen sparkling stories are full of joy,
humour and tenderness. We’ll meet an elderly ex-member of
parliament, who recalls her youthful romance with an orang bunian.
This was forbidden. Not because her lover was an invisible jungle
spirit, but because she was Muslim and he was not. Then a teenage
vampire struggles to balance homework, bossy aunties, first love .
. . and eating people. A mischievous matriarch returns from the
dead to disrupt her own funeral rites, pitting granddaughter
against granddaughter. An earth spirit becomes entangled in
protracted negotiations with an annoying landlord. And Chang E, the
Chinese moon goddess, spins off into outer space – the ultimate
metaphor for diaspora. Enjoy this journey into magical new worlds
of the imagination.
