• Telltale: 11 Stories is a targeted literature text for secondary schools in Singapore.
ELEVEN STORIES BY SIX WRITERS, NONE OLDER THAN THEIR CITY-STATE OF SINGAPORE.
This anthology of short fiction presents six distinct electrifying voices from Singapore: Alfian bin Sa’at, Wena Poon, Jeffrey Lim, Tan Mei Ching, Claire Tham, and Dave Chua. The modern tales they tell are graphic, gritty, striking, and evocative. They describe experiences marked by short happiness and haunting memories, from the death of a loved one to the menacing forces of nature.
The eleven stories showcased here examine the lives of an array of complex characters. These individuals are tormented by dilemmas that nonetheless go on to shape and direct them. Telltale is an artfully sequenced collection that also includes explanatory notes and a study guide. It stands out as an informative and enriching edition that will speak to a broad range of readers today.
Telltale: 11 Stories also comes with a Study Companion.

Reviews
"This anthology was one of the books I studied for my O Level Literature paper last year. It is also the first book that introduced me to local literature, I didn't even knew stories like these even existed in pages bound with a spine... This book opened my eyes to how much more beautiful this home of mine is. Some of the short stories were really sentimental, some thought provoking, majority, relatable... I really enjoyed it. The terms we have in Singlish being on print is different. Something about that just makes me smile... Worth the in depth study - I would've done it even if I didn't have it for the paper!" - Hazel, from Goodreads
