The Night Shift Almanac, Volume 1

About this book

Between midnight and six, the city belongs to people most of us never meet. A toll collector learns that some drivers pay with secrets. A mamak waiter serves one impossible customer at 3:17 in the morning. A radio host receives a caller who insists she is speaking from tomorrow. Elsewhere, nurses, bakers, security guards and insomniacs carry on beneath fluorescent lights while the occasional ghost quietly joins the shift. The Night Shift Almanac, Volume 1 gathers ten stories about the strange intimacy of working while the rest of the world sleeps, and about the small acts that keep morning possible.
