    The first volume of a brand new horror anthology series.

    Ghost stories and tales of fright have a long verbal and written tradition in Singapore, and so Epigram Books is proud to present a new annual anthology series of terrifying local fiction. Featuring all the winners of the 2022 Storytel Epigram Horror Prize, Fright 1 celebrates all subsets of the horror genre, told with a Singaporean twist.

    The contributors include Meihan Boey, Dew M. Chaiyanara, Dave Chua, Jane Huang, Wen-yi Lee, Kelly Leow, Kimberly Lium, O Thiam Chin, Quek Shin Yi, Tan Lixin and Teo Kai Xiang.

  • Established in 2022, the Storytel Epigram Horror Prize was initiated to reward Singapore writing and put the spotlight on horror fiction in Singapore literature. The judging panel for the 2022 Storytel Epigram Horror Prize consists of Gwee Li Sui, Annaliza Bakri and Jason Erik Lundberg.
