"I want readers to encounter the full and radical strangeness of what Buddhism, Taoism, and the zhiguai tradition are actually saying about reality and the nature of ourselves." I loved Izzy's story, and this essay on its inspirations and intentions is fascinating

Bad Hand Books@badhandbooks.bsky.social · last mo.

Had a productive meeting with @nettirw.bsky.social and @garnetonwinter.bsky.social today. These two have joined Bad Hand as associate editors and will be taking on some of the heavy lifting for 2027 titles and beyond. Thrilled to have both of them with us.

An incredible discussion and analysis of @ayidashonibar.bsky.social's layered and fabulous story, "An Unholy Terroir" found in Silk & Sinew. I am awestruck. Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social, thank you @r-emrys.bsky.social and Anne M. Pillsworth for all the careful research and excellent deep dive!

"If people are going to call you inhuman, and treat you as monsters, wouldn’t it be tempting, sometimes, to prove them right?" Reading the Weird is playing with fire in Ayida Shonibar's "An Unholy Terroir," first published in Silk and Sinew: A Collection of Folk Horror From the Asian Diaspora!

I can't describe what it means to see such in-depth analysis of my writing—including extensive, thoughtful research into the various folklore traditions, historical references, & sociocultural themes in my story (from the Bram Stoker Award-winning anthology edited by @garnetonwinter.bsky.social!) 🖤✨️
