The Fish Curse: and Other Hong Kong Stories
Coming Soon
It’s fish eat fish in here
There is something unreal about this Hong Kong estate.
For its residents, isolated in their mid-block apartments, hallucinations lurk just beyond the stress-induced cracks of daily life. Each home is furnished with its own unique demons and haunted by the skeletons encased in the foundations…
In this collection of interconnected stories pervaded by uncanny nostalgia, generations phase through concrete halls. Echoes of children’s fighting fish rivalries and games of demonic possession linger while their older selves fight to keep a roof over their heads and argue about preparing the dead for the afterlife.
Some obsessively excavate old memories, while others attempt to rise above the claustrophobia – but when the elevator starts breeding new delusions, who can tell where the boundaries between paranoia and paranormal lie?
