    [synopsis] => Shadow Play: Ten Tales from the In-between is a collection of fantastical and interconnected stories written by Asian-American author, Sarina Dahlan.At first glance the characters may appear unrelated: A girl living with a silent grandmother in World War II-era Bangkok, a septuagenarian writing his memoir in upstate New York, a kampong witch doctor, the residents of a rundown hotel in the Tenderloin district, lost souls in Central Park. Yet, they are all connected by a karmic web across time.By turns unexpected, funny, heartbreaking, and horrifying, this debut collection is an excursion into the strange and the magical hidden in the mundane. A fusion of the realistic and the supernatural that explores the concept of self by those stuck in-between.SHADOW PLAYA thirteen-year-old girl's anti-coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of WWII Bangkok.Bangkok, Thailand, 1942GLIMMER GLASSA retired war journalist struggles to write a memoir.Cooperstown, U.S.A., 2001THE WITCH DOCTORA fifteen-year-old girl finds hope through a neighborhood healer during a great flood.Bangkok, Thailand, 1942CALL ME BLUEA young woman from a small California desert town tells a story about her magical grandmother.California Desert, U.S.A., 1994LOVE ME, TENDERResidents of a rundown hotel in the Tenderloin District search for a beloved fortune teller who has mysteriously gone missing.San Francisco, U.S.A., 1998GHOST MOONA woman employs an unorthodox method to find an anchor in the aftermath of loss.New York City, U.S.A., 2018DUST BOUNDA man's path to self-discovery through a mysterious handwriting in an old book.Bangkok, Thailand, 2017 THE WOMAN IN THE GARDENA photographer attempts to prove the existence of a woman no one believes is real.San Diego, U.S.A., 2011 THE BENCHA bizarre and unexpected gathering of lost souls in Central Park.New York City, U.S.A., 2026*Silver Honorable Mention, Writers of the Future, 3rd Quarter 2018JASMINE WATERWhere it all began.Bangkok, Siam, 1904
