"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 ten science fiction and fantasy stories with a distinctively Malaysian sensibility.
