Watching the end of the world through the cracks. Small windows on massive events – on a doomed civilization drawing its last breaths. A sense of universal decay and collapse conveyed in the smallest of canvasses.
This collection by Kristine Ong Muslim, an author from the Philippines, gathers nine delicate miniatures that pack a strong emotional punch. Stylistically they are rooted in apocalyptic sci-fi and supernatural horror but they are told with a post-modern and surreal touch – like macro photographs of the world's end.

Press and Reviews for THE DRONE OUTSIDE
“This is a lovely little book, both a welcome and characteristically brilliant addition to the short and poetic work of Kristine Ong Muslim, and a promising start to Eibonvale’s foray into short works or collections. That such a rich and satisfying piece can be delivered in under 50 pages, and to the usual high editorial and production standards of this press, bodes well for their future offerings.”
--Djibril al-Ayad, The Future Fire
“You will have your own triangulation on this series of short works. Each reader will have one, and mine is not necessarily sacrosant. The beauty of these works.”
—DF Lewis, Dreamcatcher: Gestalt Real-Time Reviews
"Part of the Eibonvale Press chapbook range, The Drone Outside by Kristine Ong Muslim is a curious mini-collection that swerves effortlessly between science fiction, drama and horror, by way of slipstream. The beauty of this book is that the author explains nothing. These things happened and that is all there is to it. The worlds and situations created by Muslim are wondrous, often tantalising glimpses of the alien, disturbing and strange...."
—Terry Grimwood, theEXAGGERATEDpress
"If you’ve enjoyed the little science fiction books in the Penguin Modern series, you’ll probably like this too. It’s serious in intent and very well written."
—Stephen Theaker, The British Fantasy Society
"From the first page to the last, we readers are haunted by something so incomprehensibly vast (in its consequences and reach) that it becomes, essentially, a limit experience to contemplate."
—Rowan Fortune, Medium
