Ghost Stories in Singapore by Russell Lee is very popular. The books are thin and easy to read. The stories are two to three pages long. The best part is it local context. So it is very easy to identify with the stories.
I read a couple of stories about "adventures" of army boys when they are out doing their field exercises. Of course all the scary things they see are female. I wonder if their imagination start after sufficient sleep deprivations. I still shudders to think of the exercises we have to do. Moving from point-to-point every few hours. Setting up and then tearing down very heavy military hardware. Sentry duties, running to nowhere weighs down by your rifle. After a couple of days of sheer torture, a scary story will help any soldier to stay awake.
