Pulp Toast / Roti Bakar: Beyond the Page

Pulp Toast / Roti Bakar: Beyond the Page
Pulp Toast / Roti Bakar: Beyond the Page

Meta-fiction where characters talk back and keep secrets.

If you enjoy stories that break the fourth wall, this collection offers a playful, unsettling twist. Its self-aware characters challenge their creators, their roles, and even your expectations. You’ll come away questioning who truly controls a story once its characters find their voices.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For years, readers have observed characters from beyond the pages. But when story characters start becoming self-aware, conversations across our dimensions become a whole new experience. This issue of Pulp Toast/Roti Bakar invites you to learn the secrets of our characters—from our characters themselves. Learn the secrets behind your cuppa straight from the horse's mouth as you fight the voices in your head. Rationalize your thoughts after learning truths from a con man. If direct conversation isn't your thing, observe characters as they battle typecasting to the death. Witness an author-protagonist relationship that gets too close for comfort. Join us as we take a peek over the fourth wall. We hope you enjoy having conversations across the pages of this issue—our characters will tell us how it went.
