A rejected manuscript forces a writer to confront the possibility that a doppelganger has stolen his identity. Achilles contemplates his immortal life, edging ever closer to cruelty. Three strangers gathered at an apartment block in Singapore trade personal ghost stories. Swirling on the edge of madness, a resurrection ritual takes place on a stormy night. Traversing the fantastical, absurd, and grotesque, the stories of Minor Illusions explore themes of grief, memory, and human relationships as they test the limits of our tropes, archetypes, and codes of narration.
