Unquiet Spirits: Essays by Asian Women in Horror by Angela Yuriko Smith, Lee Murray
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“Unquiet Spirit” is a deeply personal and intriguing collection of essays. Across multiple authors you are introduced to a multitude of haunting female ghosts across Asia, ghosts that have found their way into each writer’s life. They symbolize, trauma, tradition, hunger, all of these ghosts reflect the unquiet feelings inside us.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading through these essays and receiving multiple perspectives from a diverse collection of Asian diaspora writers. I learned a lot about the mythology and culture of the different countries, that I’d been totally unaware of before. If you enjoy thoughtful essays and want to read some with an element of the supernatural thrown in, this is the collection for you.
