Genre Fiction

'If you live near the jungle, you will realize that what is real and what is not real is not always clear. In the forest there is not a big gap between the two.' A Datin recalls her romance with an orang bunian. A teenage pontianak struggles to balance homework, bossy aunties, first love, and eating people. An earth spirit gets entangled in protracted negotiations with an annoying landlord, and Chang E spins off into outer space, the ultimate metaphor for the Chinese diaspora. Straddling the worlds of the mundane and the magical, SPIRITS ABROAD collects 10 science fiction and fantasy stories with a distinctively Malaysian sensibility.

Spirits Abroad

Zen Cho

Short stories from the surreal and sometimes shocking imagination of Malaysian writer Julya Oui. It can only be a nightmare if you: * Walk into a convent where Sister Mary Angele starts to grow horns. * Catch Mina telling her sister she was a victim of inter-species rape. * Hear how Manny's phobia for garden snails is linked to a childhood crime. * Find out the dreadful truth behind Jason's toy collection. * Listen to Jack reveal a secret that will affect everyone on earth. After all, if here be nightmares, there can also be monsters.

Here Be Nightmares

Julya Oui

In Rules of Desire, yearning becomes both dangerous and erotic, leading the readers into worlds where the unthinkable becomes possible.  Dipika Mukherjee's stories careen from urban Kuala Lumpur to cosmopolitan Shanghai, then small towns of India and the remote wilderness of America. Seventeen stories explore the realities of rapidly changing countries, where social mores are obscured by political and economic realities. They explore the essence of being human in a world that turns on the debts of desire.

LITTLE BASKET 2016: New Malaysian Writing

TRASH is part of a threesome of Southeast Asian urban anthologies. The other two are called HEAT and FLESH. It features stories about Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. The writers have sorted through the 'trash' and found things that can be valued as still useful, things that deserve to be salvaged, and recycled, or reused, but they also point unflinchingly at structures, strictures, and modes of thought that have clearly served their time and must be discarded. Writers: Zedeck Siew, Raymond G. Falgui, Lyana Shah, Dipika Mukherjee, Timothy Marsh, Richard Calayeg Cornelio, Ted Mahsun, Eliza Vitri Handayani, Michael Aaron Gomez, Tilon Sagulu, Alexander Marcos Osias, Nin Harris, Francis Quina, M. SHANmughalingam and Victor Fernando R. Ocampo.

TRASH: A Southeast Asian Urban Anthology

LITTLE BASKET 2017: New Malaysian Writing is the second book of this planned annual anthology. It includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry as well as a comic and a photo-essay. It's a tasty smorgasbord of what Malaysians are writing and thinking about while playing with our rich linguistic landscape. Food continues to be a strong metaphor, so tuck right in. As with the first volume, this book has a print run of 3,000 and won't be reprinted.
