Ox Ghost Snake Demon - a new collection from Jade Song, author of CHLORINE

Inspired by the Chinese zodiac, OX GHOST SNAKE DEMON is the bold first collection from Jade Song, the acclaimed author of CHLORINE and I LOVE YOU DON'T DIE.

Childhood best friends reunite, a housewife takes revenge on her suburban neighbours and a girl remembers her mother by the tiger stripes that adorn her skin. Love stories begin, a dragon rises and a disgruntled officer worker makes meals flavoured by those who have crossed them.

Each story, written in striking prose and laced with darkness, is inspired by the traits associated with a different animal in the Chinese zodiac and explores transformation: what it means to unapologetically become more ourselves outside the constraints of dominant cultural narratives.
