I will be giving away 10 free, autographed copies to bloggers in Malaysia who email me on 31 October at matahari.books@gmail.com . Not a minute before that date, y'hear? And if you are not a blogger, well, it takes only a few minutes to rectify that.

Matahari Books are nicely designed, unlike a majority of Msian books that look like utter crap. i oso feel like collecting all of them.
Wah, I really want this book!
i prefer the previous cover! this one looks like a animaniac cartoon head... the other one is cooler!

I wonder is this book small enough for Melvyn the bomoh to hide in his trouser pocket.

How is promoting and encouraging fear a good thing?
