Description
Dream Stuff is a collection of 12 stories written between 1992 and 2014. A few have appeared in various local publications and anthologies; most are being published for the first time. The stories are diverse. They range from the “short short” to the “nearly-novella”, and they take you from pre-Independence Malaya/Malaysia to “a new galactic universe 200 mega centiniums” in the future – or is it the past? In these stories you hear the voices of a variety of narrators and characters, among them an eight-year old child confused by the way adults use – or fail to use – language; a reclusive old woman hiding a dark secret; an ageless, deathless Aranean harpist, “the last and the best” on the planet Tarron. They invite you to enter their worlds and share their dreams – daydreams, night dreams, haunting dreams, dreams verging on nightmares, nightmares that become their lives, and lives that become nightmares. Dreamstuff.
