Durian and Daffodil: Stories by Hisham Abdullah
Twenty unforgettable tales where the everyday takes a wild turn. A man wakes up as a cat. A cursed bamboo flute tempts a teenager. A shrinking typewriter shows a writer just how much his true voice has diminished. Two strangers meet online—Durian and Daffodil—only to discover a shocking truth.
Sharp, surprising, and full of heart, these stories show how even the smallest choices can change everything.

Tuan Room by Hisham Abdullah
Some guests leave only stories behind. Others leave a part of themselves. Some never leave at all.
On a misty hill in the Far East, a weathered colonial bungalow keeps its secrets. Beneath the bed in one quiet room lies a box of old manuscripts—no one knows who wrote them or why. But those who dare to read soon wonder: are they reading the stories, or are the stories reading them?
Twenty interconnected tales where memory blurs with fiction, and silence itself begins to confess.

Rewrite to Sender by Hisham Abdullah
A retired teacher finds an old envelope of story ideas from his students and begins writing them—sending each by post. Some reply. Some don’t. Some rewrite his stories in return. What comes back is more than memory: it’s a reckoning between teacher and student, and the stories that outlast the classroom.
