PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Em X. Liu is a writer and recent biochemistry graduate, which means they love stories about artificial intelligence and Shakespeare in equal measure. Since immigrating to Canada, they never go long without hopping on a plane to wander new places. But out of all the cities they've been to, they still love their home in Toronto the most.
“Shakespeare, a haunted-house escape room, and a plot full of tenderness, philosophy, brazenness, and terror” -- C. S. E. Cooney, author of Saint Death’s Daughter “Liu’s exquisite prose perfectly marries physicality and emotionality, the visceral and the sterile. This is Hamlet reflected in a fractured mirror. Every angle on the familiar comes as a surprise; every new edge cuts with razor intelligence. And oh, the tension! It will murder you.” -- Shelley Parker-Chan “A breathless, piercingly immersive Hamlet reimagining that feels at once futuristic and timeless. Each scene is layered with creeping dread and tension that builds masterfully to a harrowing climax. This is the kind of story that will be crawling at the edges of your brain like static for a long while.” -- Ren Hutchings
