HONG KONG WRITERS CIRCLE PUBLISHES NEW COLLECTION OF STORIES – HOTEL CHINA.

Just in time for Christmas, the Hong Kong Writers Circle invites you to experience a different kind of holiday by checking into its latest collection of short stories, Hotel China.

Edited by SCC Overton and Edmund Price, these 26 brilliant new stories are all set in the same (fictional) four-star hotel in Wan Chai. On the surface, the Hotel China appears to be a bland modern business hotel but very soon it becomes obvious that its guests and its staff are up to no good. Behind closed doors, anything can happen and it does: from murders to marriages, from espionage adventures to lovers’ trysts and a chilling tale of the start of a pandemic, this anthology will provide you with all the excitement, and more, of a foreign trip without having to leave the comfort of your armchair. 

The authors include some of Hong Kong’s finest writers such as Joy Al-Sofi, Michael A. Ashton, Hollie Allman, Elisabeth Attwood, Mike Bishop, Alan Brown, Sarah Crosby, Mio Debnam, Leela Devi Panikar, Stefanie Dubois, Lawrence Gray, Ian Greenfield, Peter Gregoire, Ryan Harper, Melanie Ho, Noble Hughes, Lorraine McLelland, SCC Overton, Edmund Price, Cate Rocchi, Valerie Wilson Trower and Jane Wallace.

Hotel China is priced at HK$120. It is being distributed by Chameleon and will be available from leading Hong Kong booksellers, as well as the Paddyfield website at www.paddyfield.com.
