The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts

“A story addictive enough to devour in one sitting, The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts introduces a world in which quotidian fears bloom luridly into nightmare. Through Eleanor’s eyes, twenty-first century terrors are considered in all their varied forms: technological interference, the violence of loneliness, and worst, the kinds of natural and psychological damage we’ve brought upon ourselves. I looked up from this book and saw everything around me in higher definition.”—Lucy Tan, author of What We Were Promised and Tiger’s Mouth

“I was utterly enthralled by Kim Fu’s The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts, a brilliantly written tale of grief, loneliness, and the horrors of real estate. Images from this novel will probably haunt me forever. A bold and searing work by a writer working at the top of their game.”—Kate Folk, author of Sky Daddy

“Gorgeous and profoundly moving, Kim Fu’s The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts lays bare the lonely abyss of grief and all of its disorienting contours. Just when I thought I would drown, she brought me to the surface, gasping for air. An extraordinary and unforgettable novel.”—Talia Lakshmi Kolluri, author of What We Fed to the Manticore

“This book has all the weirdness, madness, and surreal beauty we’ve come to expect of Kim Fu’s work. Part psychological horror, part existential philosophy, and a whole lot of ghosts—a chilling and pitch perfect experience, I read it in one feverish dream.”—Susie Yang, author of White Ivy
