I tore through it' INDEPENDENT Independence seems to be drifting away from Misty. Just months ago, she was living with her fiancé and planning their life together. Now she's single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn't how thirty-two was meant to look. When Misty turns to dating apps, she's immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn't doesn't even notice the acronym 'ENM' on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for 'ethical non-monogamy' - and that he's in a long-term open relationship - she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go. And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. It's all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next 'real' relationship. But is what she wants really what she needs? 'So wryly funny ...

"A compelling, gory, ghostly romp." —Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie "This is what it felt like to live in New York City during lockdown: haunted, absurd, terrifying, ridiculous, and full of hungry ghosts." —Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House In this explosive horror novel, a woman is haunted by inner trauma, hungry ghosts, and a serial killer as she confronts the brutal violence experienced by East Asians during the pandemic. Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner, washing away the remains of brutal murders and suicides in Chinatown. But none of that seems so terrible when she’s already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister, Delilah, being pushed in front of a train. Before fleeing the scene, the murderer shouted two words: bat eater. So the bloody messes don’t really bother Cora—she’s more bothered by the germs on the subway railing, the bare hands of a stranger, the hidden viruses in every corner, and the bite marks on her coffee table. Of course, ever since Delilah was killed in front of her, Cora can’t be sure what's real and what’s in her head. She pushes away all feelings and ignores the advice of her aunt to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell open. But she can't ignore the dread in her stomach as she keeps finding bat carcasses at crime scenes, or the scary fact that all her recent cleanups have been the bodies of East Asian women. As Cora will soon learn, you can’t just ignore hungry ghosts. For fans of Stephen Graham Jones and Gretchen Felker-Martin, Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is a wildly original, darkly humorous, and subversive contemporary novel from a striking new voice in horror.

What would you do for a seat at the table? In this deliciously dark thriller set in remote Japan, a desperate gambling addict masquerades as the private chef to a reclusive billionaire with deadly taste--from the twisted mind behind Claire, Darling. They will kill me soon, Edward Cook thinks. When the Yakuza are unable to collect what he owes, Ed realizes that they'll go after his wife and child next. Broke, desperate, and unemployed, he stumbles upon an unusual ad: Chef wanted! Private chef needed for a high-profile businesswoman. One million yen per day. Ed accepts the job. He hasn't earned any Michelin stars, but he knows his way around a kitchen. Leaving his life in Tokyo behind, he departs for an opulent estate in the mountains owned by Hazeline Yamamoto, his enigmatic and reclusive benefactor, a disgraced socialite with a predator's smile and exacting palette. Hazeline's world is one of taste, connoisseurship, and experimentation--she is a certified gourmand. But when you can afford filet mignon for every meal, you begin to seek out the strange and forbidden. The closer Ed gets to Hazeline and a brighter future that she promises--if only he remains loyal--the closer he is to realizing the chilling truth about her altruism. In this shadow world of unimaginable wealth, there are worse monsters than two-bit gangsters. The wind blowing through Hazeline's home carries the sound of screaming, and Ed finds himself feeding all kinds of beasts. Perfect for fans of Parasite and The Menu--enticing as a starter, meaty as a main dish, and full of satisfying just-desserts-- Greedy is a suspenseful poison-pen note to classism and an ode to Japanese cuisine, a horror-tinged thriller unsuitable for vegetarians but full of shocking delights for every reader.

The only difference between fiction and memoir is Truth ... A MULTIPLE TAIWANESE AWARD WINNER Translated by Lin King, translator of International Booker Prize-winner, TAIWAN TRAVELOGUE Reader love for A PERFECT DAY TO PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE OVEN ***** 'Reading this made me fly back to my own past ' ***** 'I enjoyed its tenderness . Like the protagonist at the end, I felt warmth float into my eyes ' **** * 'Interesting and philosophical. This cleverly considers the differences between fiction and reality' __________ A genre-defying novel from a rare new international voice for fans of Lucia Berlin, Elena Ferrante and Han Kang as a writer gives up on fiction to explore the truth of her own youth. Faced with writer's block, Tan's attempts to write her first novel are faltering. And so she embarks instead on a memoir, sparking a lively dialogue with old friends as they search their memories to examine what each one recalls and why. Was it really a dinner-table game that revealed her parents were on the brink of divorce? And was her aunt's shower curtain really made up of raincoats? Soon, her work-in-progress starts to acquire a life of its own, gradually eclipsing the past and replacing it with something new. After Tan has put her story into a metaphorical oven, what emerges is not a faithful record of the past, but a freshly baked creation forged from memory, imagination and desire. Moving between past and present, childhood and adulthood, self and others, A PERFECT DAY TO PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE OVEN humorously transforms a personal search for truth into a surprising meditation on our human desire to make sense of our lives. _________ 'A gorgeous, surprising and deeply intelligent book. I read it rapt and awestruck' Claire Vaye Watkins ***** 'A book to read over and over' ***** 'This is not only a process of "memory reconstruction," but also a dialectic of "fiction vs. reality"' ***** 'Its words are like a whirlpool , pulling me back to my teenage years'

Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner, washing away the remains of brutal murders and suicides in Chinatown. But none of that seems so terrible when she's already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister, Delilah, being pushed in front of a train. Before fleeing the scene, the murderer shouted two words: bat eater. So the bloody messes don't really bother Cora-she's more bothered by the germs on the subway railing, the bare hands of a stranger, the hidden viruses in every corner, and the bite marks on her coffee table. Of course, ever since Delilah was killed in front of her, Cora can't be sure what's real and what's in her head. She pushes away all feelings and ignores the advice of her aunt to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell open. But she can't ignore the dread in her stomach as she keeps finding bat carcasses at crime scenes, or the scary fact that all her recent cleanups have been the bodies of East Asian women. As Cora will soon learn, you can't just ignore hungry ghosts. For fans of Stephen Graham Jones and Gretchen Felker-Martin, Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is a wildly original, darkly humorous, and subversive contemporary novel from a striking new voice in horror. For readers who love: Monika Kim, Stephen Graham Jones, and Grady Hendrix Terrifying, gory horror with heart and dark humor Ghost stories and mythology Crime novels Themes of friendship and family Horror that highlights social issues
