Classic Singapore Horror Stories Book Four

THE Return Of Original Sin. No vampires, no werewolves, no zombies, no serial killers. The stories in this book are a purely Asian experience. An exotic blend of multicultural superstitions, a whirlpool of myriad ethnic devilry. This is the original Sin brew of human desire, shameless lust, violence, greed, random sadism and pure wickedness... all the repressed instincts we hide away from others, and, ourselves. As you read, don’t be surprised to discover exactly who you are and what you might be.

A COLLECTION of “Singapore Noir” poems.

These are my dark poems; My Dark Poems.
Read them when you’re alone — all alone.
Keep them where wood rots and steel rusts.
Away from moonbeams and stardust.
