## Description

"Ng and Blumberg-Kason defy the fates by presenting a collection of 14 stories--by Chinese tradition, an ominous number--illustrating their city's dark side...Ng and Blumberg-Kason's Hong Kong is a city on the brink, haunted by its past but facing an uncertain future. Readers can feel lucky to have such a collection." -- Kirkus Reviews
