Ignyte Awards Finalist in Outstanding Creative Nonfiction for "The Substitute".
"Unquiet Spirits is a collection of intimate, insightful essays that will become essential reading for those looking to understand the voice of women of the Asian diaspora in horror. I can't overstate how important this book is." --Priya Sharma, British Fantasy award-winning author of Ormeshadow
"A captivating collection of hungry, neglected, abused ancestral beings, with each piece ending in a treasure trove of reference material to inspire and teach." --Linda D. Addison, Award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master
"A deeply emotional and insightful exploration of the female Asian experience by some of the best writing talent today. Haunted by generational gifts, traumas, and hungers, the essays in Unquiet Spirits give voice to the quest for identity informed by the echoes of those who came before and never quite left us." --Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling author
"A haunting and phenomenally intriguing undertaking. With the variety of perspectives, Unquiet Spirits is powerful, poignant, and very, very moving. An emotionally draining experience in the best way possible!" --Steve Stred, Splatterpunk-nominated author of Sacrament and Mastodon, and reviewer at Kendall Reviews
"A powerhouse of cultural revelation." --Midwest Book Review
"A tight view on the symbolism of the monstrous feminine... struck a deep chord." --Interzone Magazine
"As an expert in the paranormal I've researched ghosts around the globe, but there's a vast gulf between studying hungry ghosts and fox spirits in scholarly journals, and reading first-hand experience of these extraordinary stories. The pieces in Unquiet Spirits are beautiful, enlightening, poignant, and yes, haunting. This is a must-have book for anyone who is interested in the folklore of Asia and how it has impacted the lives of the women actually living it." --Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Ghosts: A Haunted History
"Fierce and fervid, Unquiet Spirits... deserves ascent to the literary canon for both the Asian diaspora and feminism. This volume is a must." --Austin Gragg, Editor-in-Chief at Space & Time Magazine
"Raw, emotional, honest, and empowering." --Amanda Headlee, The Horror Tree
"The spirits don't whisper in this collection, they roar across the pages-every word carefully selected and earning its place. These personal stories traverse time and space to be everyone's stories. A book for the collection, to be read many times over." --Renata Pavrey, Horror Addicts
