Inspired by horror fiction, myths and fairy tales, Apple and Knife is an unsettling ride that swerves into the supernatural to explore the dangers and power of occupying a female body in todays world. These short fictions set in the Indonesian everydayin corporate boardrooms, in shanty towns, on dangdut stagesreveal a soupy otherworld stewing just beneath the surface.
Sometimes wacky and always engrossing, this is subversive feminist horror at its best, where men and women alike are arbiters of fear, and where revenge is sometimes sweetest when delivered from the grave.
