"Silk & Sinew screams with unquiet diasporic voices. The landscape itself is haunted by personal and collective history, unflinchingly examining intergenerational relations, colonialism, displacement and what makes us monstrous. A triumph of an anthology and an essential addition to the folk horror genre." — Eliza Chan, author of Fathomfolk and Tideborn "Visceral, poignant, unforgettable. The stories in this haunting collection made me weep. This book is eternal; a classic addition to every self-respecting library." —Nuzo Onoh, "Queen of African Horror" & Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award recipient "Silk & Sinew is a transcendent collection of horror and identity that engages all the primal emotions rooted in our shared humanity. Many times you will be brought to the verge of tears, many times you will learn the cost of survival, many times you will be made to experience the deepest scars, folklore, and beauty of the Asian diaspora. I learned and felt so much." —Jamal Hodge, Bram Stoker Award Nominee, The Dark Between The Twilight "Kulski’s Silk & Sinew is an ambitious anthology that delivers what it promises. All the works are rooted in the natural world, by design and arrangement, yet each one deftly explores the fantastical, the weird, and the spiritual beyond the tangible. Whether we are watching eels watch us, exorcising guilt in ghostly ashes, or trespassing sacred space, Silk & Sinew shows us how Art is indelibly informed and enriched by our beliefs, culture, and folklore." –-Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito, author and founder of award winning Qilin Press
