Demon Song — Kelsea Yu

I finished reading DEMON SONG by Kelsea Yu, and it was a beautiful take on diaspora experience and Chinese opera and completely delivered on the Phantom of the Opera (but make it sapphic)! Very sensual with some intense body horror moments, done beautifully. www.kelseayu.com/demon-song

Ahhhh thank you Cass!! 🥰🥰🥰

Cover for Ye Xian and the Celestial Feast by Kelsea Yu with art by Iris Lei. Features a fox, fox mask, gold trinkets, Chinese feast foods, a palace, and a Chinese girl with long hair holding a fox mask.

Quote graphic from Ye Xian and the Celestial Feast by Kelsea Yu: “Were she any other girl, Ye Xian might have died of her stepmother’s treatment. But she had a secret, passed down from her mother’s line; one which she guarded closely. Ye Xian was a húli jīng.”

Deliquescence - PSYCHOPOMP.COM It is cold where the dreamer lies. She is the only one of her kind in this dark, murky cage, but she is not alone. Claws tap out rhythms on her skull; fins brush patterns on her ribs.

Wonderful underwater death-dreamscapes from @anovelescape.bsky.social Kelsea Yu.

A nice graphic with the cover of The Starving Saints, some sculpted columnar ladies, and bees. The text reads: The Book Bin Presents: Author Event with Caitlin Starling in conversation with Kate Alice Marshall When: Saturday October 4th 5pm Where: The Book Bin 450 Court St Ne

last minute, but for Oregon folks: I’ll be at the Book Bin in Salem today with Kate Alice Marshall, and a little birdie told me there might be early copies of THE GRACEVIEW PATIENT available tonight only.

Check out Kelsea's new Chinese spin of Phantom of the Opera with Pacific Northwest (Portland) representation. Her novella from Titan books hits some of my favorite things: PNW representation, Chinese monkey god mythology, Chinese food, and Phantom of the Opera spookiness with a Chinese spin!
