Christmas arrived a day early for Singaporeans who grew up reading the beloved 'Singapore Ghost Stories' series.

On 24 December, the mysterious author of the book series announced on his Facebook page that the latest book in the horror series is now available in Singapore on that day, and in Malaysia in the new year.

Nobody does horror quite the way the Southeast Asians do and 'Singapore Ghost Stories' is probably one series that tells great creepy stories that keep people up at night.

How many of you remember reading the book and having to sleep with the lights on until the stories fades a little from memory?

Well, it's time to add new scary stories to your memory bank.

The 26th 'Singapore Ghost Stories' includes the story of a 'The Silat Princess', 'Chinese Hell' and several true stories.

We're not sure about you, but our first plan for the new year is definitely to go to the nearest bookstore to get a copy!
