Koleksi Cerita Misteri Media Permata I, craddling 29 chilling tales of the macabre in its necrotic bosom, is a selection of suspense stories about apparitions of accident victims, goblins, hideous blood suckers and monsters all written within the local context. Apart from whetting the appetite of the reader, these stories represent some of the best tales ever to spill out of the minds of Brunei's horror writers.

Koleksi Cerita Misteri Media Permata II, published in 2002 follows the tradition of its predecessor and traces the same dark trail of the paranormal with stories about forest spirits, phantoms, specters and giants.

Both books are therefore excursions into the supernatural in Brunei led by Bruneians. Apart from giving the local fan of the genre a hair-raising read, the books which are also available in Singapore and Malaysia, offer the foreign reader a rare insight into the inner thoughts and convictions of this society. This is indeed a treat and a recommended read for anyone who, beyond liking a midnight scare, can get to find out a bit more about Brunei.
