On the home front, Singapore Literature Prize winner Marylyn Tan – who is also the first Arts House Literary Fellow – will have a joint session with Philippine National Book Award-winning crime writer FH Batacan, where they discuss how Southeast Asian fiction can tackle numerous real-life issues.
Thrill-seekers, on the other hand, can look forward to The Shadow Of Things To Come – a spooky story walk which has eerie tales rooted in Malay supernatural traditions mixed with personal accounts.
