True Singapore Ghost Stories : Book 1

1989Russell Lee

4.6/5

True Singapore Ghost Stories - the series I have been reading ever since I was a kid. I have the entire collection, from Book 1 all the way to Book 22. These stories are really great for scaring oneself, especially at night. Some of these stories were so creepy to the extent I was afraid of going somewhere alone! That was when I was young of course, now I have outgrown it, or maybe not? :) I will be writing my review of all his 22 books in particular, since each one is mostly the same. Anyway, each book focuses on a different aspect of supernatural. From witch magic, aliens to religion teachings, you name it, they have it. Of course, there will be other stories apart from the particular topic in each book. In each book, there will be stories sent in by readers. Hence, Russell Lee does not write these stories, he only edits them. That is the unique thing about him, unlike most other horror writers. There will be a section called "Russell Lee Investigates", where through his in depth and though research, will provide readers information as accurately as possible about the topic. Next, there will be a "Russell Lee Interview", where he will interview a person to share their own personal ghostly experience. These people could be possibly Singaporean celebrities, radio DJs, actresses etc. Lastly, there is a contest where readers send in their own stories for a chance to win $500. I myself have tried several times in the readers contest, but ultimately, it didn't get published. Perhaps lady luck wasn't shining on me. In conclusion, I have enjoyed these books and would really recommend others to get a copy if you haven't already. It's a book every Singaporean must read! Through one may pass these stories off as fake and ridiculous, it is really entertaining. It's best to read at night, to add to the thrill and suspense. This book is also very popular, having sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. (yes, not just Singapore and Malaysia, worldwide)
