Shadows is a rare and evocative journey into the hidden realms of Southeast Asian folklore. Drawing on years of travel and immersion, Hamant Singh unveils spirits and entities largely unknown in the West—beings whispered about in the temples, forests, and back alleys of Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Myanmar.
Blending chaosophy with Theravāda thought, Singh offers not only tales but also esoteric insights and ritual fragments—gleaned from direct encounters and local traditions. The book features original artwork by Asian artists from across the region, bringing each spectral presence vividly to life.
Hamant Singh is a Singaporean writer and poet whose work orbits horror, mysticism, and the sublime. With five books published and nominations for the Rhysling, Elgin, and Bram Stoker Awards, he currently lives in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he continues to explore the occult intersections of East and West.
A compelling volume for devotees of folklore, the occult, and Asian esotericism
