About this Event
To celebrate the launch of Darker by Four, join June CL Tan, Eliza Chan (Fathomfolk) and Mina Ikemoto Ghosh (Hyo the Hellmaker), as they discuss growing up with Asian Myths and Folklores and now retelling them in their own ways.
June CL Tan writes science fiction and fantasy inspired by her childhood in multicultural Singapore, where she was raised on a diet of classic books and wuxia movies, caffeine and congee. When she is not writing, she can be found wandering the streets of New York City in search of everyday mysteries and miracles.
Eliza Chan is a Scottish-born Chinese-diaspora author who 'writes about East Asian mythology, British folklore and reclaiming the dragon lady, but preferably all three at once.' Eliza's work has been published in The Dark, Podcastle, Fantasy Magazine and The Best of British Fantasy, and her non-fiction has appeared on Tor.com. She lives in the North of England with her partner and young child. Fathomfolk is her first novel.
Mina Ikemoto Ghosh was raised on a diet of Japanese M**der-mysteries and British fantasy novels, her writing often ends up in the shadowy zone between the two. After studying STEM with a BA in Natural Sciences, she entertained family by embarking on misadventures in writing, illustration and freelance translation instead. She has an MSc in Japanese Studies from the University of Oxford, with focuses on classical Japanese literature and contemporary anthropology, and uses these as sources of inspiration for her stories. She was shortlisted the two times she entered the UK Manga Jiman in 2019 (3rd) and 2021 (placing 2nd in the main category, and 1st in the flash comic category).
