    Hong Kong Noir: A Literary Journey into HK’s Heart of Darkness

    https://zolimacitymag.com/hong-kong-...t-of-darkness/
    Hong Kong Noir is a collection of 14 noir stories set in various neighbourhoods across the city.
    “When people finish the book they’ll be like, ‘Wow,’ and the book also starts with a wow.”
    Ng shakes his head at the government’s unwillingness to promote the book... “Superstition and folk beliefs are a part of Hong Kong’s culture,” he says. “We should celebrate and embrace them instead of dismissing them as what make us look bad. As writers, we’re not in the business of window-dressing the city. We’re here to tell the truth and portray things the way we see it.”
    You can order the book on ShopinHK.Com:
