Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho
A collection of short fiction that blends Southeast Asian folklore with contemporary life, following characters—often migrants, exiles, or those caught between cultures—who encounter ghosts, spirits, and uncanny forces while wrestling with love, family, identity, and displacement. The stories move between wry humor and quiet melancholy, reworking myth and the supernatural into domestic, intimate moments that illuminate colonial legacies, queer desire, and the search for belonging. Taken together, the pieces offer atmospheric, compassionate readings of how the past and the spirit world shape present-day lives.
