Summary:
Horror Stories is a mid career collection of twenty gripping short tales by Malaysia’s “Prince of Darkness,” Tunku Halim. Drawing from over 15 years of writing, it features eerie narratives rooted in local folklore and urban legend—such as “Biggest Baddest Bomoh,” “Night of the Pontianak,” and “Malay Magick.” The stories explore psychological dread, supernatural encounters, and moral darkness, offering chilling yet culturally resonant glimpses into Malaysian horror tradition. Written in accessible English prose, the book balances atmospheric tension with vivid storytelling. Ideal for readers seeking a uniquely Southeast Asian take on horror that lingers long after reading.
