My Lovely Skull & Other Skeletons - Paperback

by Tunku Halim (Author)

Dark, imaginative, spine-chilling fiction
Fifteen skeletons await

Each the darkest of tales. Skeletons in the cupboards
of the mind. Shackled in a dungeon. Rattling the cages. Bones jangling as they grinningly emerge.
Meet a hungry old woman who roasts her victims.
A grieving father intent on rape and murder. A sex-slave nurse who uses lizards to kill. A blood-sucking creature avenging a battered wife. A teenager in love with a beach-discovered skull. A diva-wannabe who will poison to sing. An exorcism going terribly wrong.
These and other skeletons await. Nightmarish, spine-chilling tales ready to embrace and draw you into their blood-dripping dungeons.

Are you ready for the shackles?
Do you have a lovely skull?
