I wanted to share with my readers how it all began for me (in Taiping) when I was a scared little kid growing up in a time where supernatural beings were a part of our lives.

Author Julya Oui practically grew up listening to ghost stories and weird superstitions. As a result, she had a fear of the dark when she was young.
