Singapore short stories: losers, grifters, cults, devils, rats and scams in Asia's cleanest city.
How to Start a Cult in Singapore is a short-story collection about middle-aged losers trapped in gutter situations: cults, manhood labs, crypto scams, rats, devils, conspiracy freaks, bad business ideas and worse life choices. A misfit tries to build a cult out of rubbish points, paranoia and loneliness. A dying man bargains with the Devil. An old teacher squares off with a young incel. In a future Singapore, the state harvests human trauma for spare change.
Dark, grotesque Singapore literary fiction that is satirical, paranoid, irreverent, blackly comic and completely unwholesome. No soft-piano HDB nostalgia. Only what festers underneath.
