Beneath the Lion City: Irreal Stories of Singapore

Singapore's vibrant multicultural heritage has always had an element of enchantment, but this anthology of twenty-six short stories casts the Lion City as a realm of the irreal: a what-if world that blends the subtly supernatural and the vividly concrete. From a taiyaki shop supervised by a talking cat to a girl who melts in the humidity, the stories in Beneath the Lion City delve below Singapore's surface to unearth the magic in the mundane. Take a leap from everyday reality into a world where the sky turns pink and a fisherman hunts merlions as Singapore American School's Advanced Topic Writing Seminar students uncover new facets of the Little Red Dot.
