Pass through enchanting realms inhabited by dragons, vampires, and unruly grandmothers, drawing from the myths and traditions of East Asia and Malaysia, in Zen Cho's magical work, Spirits Abroad. We meet an elderly former parliamentarian who recalls her youthful romance with an orang bunian, forbidden not because her beloved was an invisible jungle spirit, but because she was Muslim and he was not. A teenage vampire struggles to balance lessons, demanding aunts, first love... and consuming humans. A mischievous matriarch returns from the dead to disrupt her own funerals, setting one granddaughter against the other. A spiritual law gets entangled in tedious negotiations with an annoying landlord. And Chang E, the Chinese moon goddess, is launched into space - the ultimate metaphor for the diaspora. Spirits Abroad won the LA Times Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction, and includes the Hugo Award-winning piece 'If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again'.
