Catherine Lim has a very interesting way of narrating...I love her stories as it reflects our real life situation, the reality that we are facing. I have read her collection of short stories and they are very interesting. Deadline for love and the shadow of a shadow of a dream, for example, are 2 of her collections of short stories that i had fallen in love with..the stories are mostly on women who are being cheated and how they are treated by men...these are all the things that are happening around us.
They Do Return, is one of her collection of short stories that is quite ok. Her horror stories are not very scary but because of her very unique way of narrating, makes me want to read all her works.
The conclusion is..she is just amazing..
