13 Moon Book Review

Ee Leen Lee is the editor of a famous novel entitle KL Noir: Blue. She has published with Esquire Malaysia Magazine, MPH, Monsoon Books Singapore, Intellect Books UK and Mammoth Books, UK. She writes crime, horror, science fiction and the occasional film and book review. This is a little bit about the author of the book 13 Moons that I am going to review. This book contain 13 different short story and an additions of nine extra really short story (only one page per story) that is said is really happening and a real story in Malaysia.
Starting with the most noticeable thing in the book, most of Lee stories is using “I” as the pronoun. She is telling story from the first person view.

For me, this is what makes the stories to become scarier. As you read the book, you will start to imagine and feel like the character “I” in the book. What's more, it also makes the readers to have the feeling that they are the one who is telling the stories to others. There are also stories with the third person view in the book, such as in the story “The Batik Weaver” and “Joe Moth”.
