Children of a Fireland: A Novel by Gary Pak [in AsianWeek]

Children of the FirelandIn the small, conservative town of Kanewai, on Oahu, Hawaii, mischievous messages start mysteriously appearing on the walls of the old town movie theater slotted for demolition. Tensions rise as the words become more aggressively intimate, revealing all sorts of secrets. People start dying and disappearing, ghosts come back to haunt what they left behind, and still no one – living or not – quite knows who is authoring those late night missives. It’s a touching, ironic, frantic, and downright entertaining read.
