" If you too could do voodoo who would you do voodoo to? "

by Goh Sin Tub

This volume of 12 stories presents Goh Sin Tub, one of the most prolific local writers, at his wackiest best. Here, he demonstrates his writing versatility with stories that hype heritage (A Gift of Roots), eerie yarns that wax weird (A Choice of Body and The Holy One from Kathmandu), legends unabashedly loony (The Legend of the Worm-Eater from Singapore), tales verging on the Twilight Zone (Bullies and Ghoulies and A Wedding Guest from Way Out of Town) as well as down-to-earth anecdotes drawn from his rich experience of life in Singapore over five decades.
