The Formidable Miss Cassidy

Autorenportrait

Meihan Boey is a Singaporean novelist and vice president of the Association of Comic Artists of Singapore. She came up with the character of Miss Cassidy while writing a short story pitting a familiar Victorian British governess figure against one of Southeast Asia's most terrifying ghouls, the pontianak. That story later became The Formidable Miss Cassidy, Meihan's debut novel, which won the Singapore Books Award and was co-winner of the Epigram Books Fiction Prize. Miss Cassidy also appears in the sequel, The Enigmatic Madam Ingram, and will return again in a third book, which Meihan is currently writing.
