Absolute Storm

My new book, Immortals and Demons of the Red Chamber, is out now. In the eighth year of the Red Chamber, a career-driven elite transmigrates into Jia Baoyu, whose youth is slipping away. The entire Jia household is made up of fox spirits, while the Xue family is a clan of azure birds. Lin Daiyu is a ghostly spirit too frail to carry a burden. Baoyu had planned to escape the estate, lest everything end in “a vast expanse of white, utterly clean.” But he realizes this world is far too dangerous, so he decides to stay put. Literati rule, demons run rampant, and the land beyond Zhongdu City is filled with wailing victims. Even the lavish Jia household cannot escape the misery of the common people. Daiyu has ten years left before she weeps herself dry. Jin Chuan is about to throw herself down a well. Baoyu looks at Xiren, the pretty maid in a silver-red jacket beside him, and asks: “Can you read?” A different kind of Dream of the Red Chamber! A different kind of deliciously painful adventure! No need to say more. Step inside and see for yourselves!
