📝 SYNOPSIS:

Set in the fictional, gritty outskirts of a Malaysian city, Hades is a raw and visceral exploration of life on the margins. Aishah Zainal introduces us to a world where the line between the living and the dead, the real and the surreal, often blurs.

The story follows characters trapped in a cycle of poverty, violence, and neglect, seeking glimpses of light in a place that feels like an underworld. Through evocative prose and sharp social commentary, the novel tackles themes of trauma, survival, and the desperate search for agency. Zainal’s writing is both brutal and poetic, capturing the unique atmosphere of a community that society has chosen to forget.

As a Dublin Literary Award 2024 Longlist nominee, Hades stands as a testament to the power of modern Malaysian storytelling. It is a challenging, unforgettable read that demands to be heard.
