One Library, Six Short Stories

 

Library of Lost Hearts is an anthology of short stories that is woven into a bigger story. You will enter the library and be sucked into one short story at a time as the librarian tries to figure out who is the author of these stories and why they keep disturbing the peace?

 

Let this be your last warning: this is no ordinary library. None of the books in this library can be found anywhere else, for the stories that are kept here are either unfinished, forgotten, or rejected — cast aside by heartbroken writers.

 

All of this was a fine arrangement: A moving library touring small towns around Mount Impossible, favouring Purnama Hollow as its home, with a librarian who loves coffee, mornings and silence. Until one day, a rogue story - a story that has the ability to kidnap readers into its pages upon reading the first line - appears in the Library of Lost Hearts, one after another.

Find yourself holding blood-red tulips, turn into a butterfly that reverts into a pupa at every inconvenience, haunting a village as a pontianak with a sword buried in her chest, discovering the truth of what really happened on Gunung Ledang, losing sense and sanity in the walls of a heartbreak asylum and getting lost in the Milky Way with an astronaut performing open-heart surgery in space.

 

It is too late to turn back now. You have read too far...
