Horror

The Ghost Bride

by Yangsze Choo

In 1890s colonial Malaya, Li Lan is offered as a ghost bride to a dead son—and finds herself pulled into the opulent, treacherous Chinese underworld. Choo crafts a sumptuous Gothic steeped in Peranakan culture, where the spirit realm bleeds into waking life and marriage binds across the veil of death. Richly atmospheric historical fantasy with romance, danger, and hungry ghosts.
