Hantu is a wordless comic which takes inspiration from the folklore of Bali, Indonesia. Whilst enjoying her holiday with her father and brother, a young girl winds up in a dream-like world all alone. She encounters a mysterious friend who will help guide her through this unfamiliar land and provide her with the support and courage she needs for her to find her way back home.
