The #horror of the #gothic, the wonder of #scifi have always bled into each other. In 1977, Ridley Scott blurred the boundaries, introducing us to the xenomorph in Alien. I'll be in Turin 23.11.25 to discuss how they blend into Chinese #popculture and sign copies of Sinophagia, now out in Italian.

The #scifi and the #gothic have always been entwined. Chinese ideas of the gothic is its own thing, and has long inspired SF writers in China. I'll be at the Mufant Museum in Turin on 23.11 to talk about how they blend into Chinese genre fiction, and Sinophagia, which is now out in Italian! #books

I've always been a lover of the gothic, whether in classic #literature, modern fiction or Chinese genre, which is why I'm thrilled to be at the Mufant Museum in Turin to discuss #scifi, the #gothic and Sinophagia, as well as sign copies of the Italian edition of my #horror collection! #books

Wishing you all a terrific and spooky #Halloween!

Spooky reading from the Yin Yang Pot in Sinophagia, spice-averse narrator goes out at night looking for food, ends up at a mysterious hotpot restaurant with his ex, annoyed she keeps insisting he eats from the spicy side, he rebelliously dunks toufu into the non-spicy white soup... #horror #books
