A short story collection by authors of the Bangkok Women Writers Group. With 19 beautiful full page illustrations by Thai artists Jaran Lakkanawat and Arthawit Pundrikapa.
18 stories by 12 female authors about special, secret and obscure night time locations in Bangkok as they unfold under the mysterious Monsoon moon. Monsoon Midnights tells the tale of a hidden city that visitors rarely see, far away from all the cliches. A city seen by women. From carefully crafted ghost stories taking place in timeworn backstreets steeped in mystique, to scripted dialogue exploring the sacrifices one must make to become an expat, to inspiring narratives that personify street dogs and mannequins and Bangkok€s very own muddy foundations, Monsoon Midnights takes readers on a journey to the real heart of Bangkok €“ to the people and places and cultural quirks that make the City of Angels exactly what it is: one of the most diverse and prodigious capitals on earth.
Some stories pack surprising twists, others take readers deep into characters€ minds, and all are threaded together in mysterious fashion by Anette Pollner€s enigmatic narrator €“ written in her trademark neo-psychedelic style.
