Eleven short stories set in Penang, Malaysia about self-worth, ambition and unfulfilled dreams; ranging from the macabre to magical realism to modernism

A young boy befriends a girl from a haunted house known as 'Adorable'. A roast pig at a Taoist funeral becomes a symbol of rebellion. A man adopts a Thai doll, hoping it would change his luck. Meanwhile, a family of monsters live on Mount Pleasure, disguising themselves with anagrams, and a black metal scandal ruins a teenage couple's after-school hangout at Gurney Plaza.

Set in Penang, Malaysia, these short stories describe how the island makes its people do crazy things. Its characters navigate a world of social tension and moral panic, while trying to find peace for themselves.
