The Books Oracle
by Jen Sookfong Lee
Drowning single mother Alice Chow collapses nightly with wine while her online business, resentful daughter, and screen-addicted son consume her—until supernatural hunger begins to consume them all. This contemporary horror explores maternal exhaustion through the lens of Asian folklore, where generational trauma manifests as literal haunting. Lee excavates the terror beneath domestic collapse with compassion and dread.
