The short stories were a tribute to one of Indonesia’s prolific writer of the horror genre: Abdullah Harahap.



Though a little bit disappointing in some aspects (i.e. the lack of fright some readers might seek for), Kumpulan Budak Setan is basically not a bad anthology. The writings are profoundly good, the ideas are not cliché, and the characters are all deeply dug up. It is some sort of proof that the three contributors—Kurniawan, Paramaditha and Prasad—are truly great writers we have today. If only it could be a little bit more frightening, that would be better.
— Ratih Dwi Astuti   in Kumpulan Budak Setan (Personal Blog, Jun 17, 2019)
