According to Malay folklore, a Hantu Tetek is a female ghost who murders young children staying out late at night. She kills them by squeezing their head between her breasts. She is not carnal, unlike her more famous cousin, the Pontianak. In some versions of the folklore, the breasts of the Hantu Tetek swarm with maggots. Sarimah, the story’s protagonist, recalls these tales of the buxomy ghost as she confronts news of her own mortality. “A Hantu Tetek Story” is read by novelist Gina Apostol, author of Insurrecto.
