This is a book of short stories by the wonderful Zen Cho. There's a story in here called "The Mystery of the Suet Swain" that is based on the creepy Malay legend of "orang minyak", which translates to mean "oily man/person". It's a myth associated with men under evil influence who are on the prowl for women to molest and rape; the oil enables them to slip away and evade capture. Literal #slipperypeople. #Rocktober @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen
