3,000 people go missing every year in Singapore. Ninety per cent of them are eventually found, but this means about 300 people remain missing. Why do they go missing? What do they leave behind? Using real-life cases of missing people as inspiration, Vanishing Point examines the theme of disappearance. First published in 2012, the 10 short stories by award-winning author Felix Cheong are now adapted into a graphic novel. The10 artists featured include veterans like Cheah Sinann, Arif Rafhan and Paul Eric Roca, as well as up-and-coming illustrators such as Isaac Fook, Yolk Chan and Sarah Haider. Nominated for the Frank O’Connor Award in 2013, Vanishing Point includes two stories, “True Singapore Ghost Story” and “The Boy with the Missing Thumb”, that were used as GCE ‘O’ level Literature texts. By turns wry, funny, horrifying and scary, the stories have been critically acclaimed as “a powerful exploration of the individual encountering his own mortality” (Nancy Srebo Park), “unnerving, wonderfully nasty tales” (Gwee Li Sui) and “subversive of the values of the global city” (Boey Kim Cheng).
