Qin writes with bold style and weaves intricate lore nestled within a story that will make you feel like you’re seated at the scariest campfire of your life!"" —Julia Vee, author of Ebony Gate ""Wonderfully surreal, Aunt Tigress is a refreshingly original debut full of magic, written with love. Come for the Chinese and First Nation mythology, stay for the sapphic romance.""—Salinee Goldenberg, author of The Last Phi Hunter ""What a fabulous book! Fresh, beautiful, and brilliant, with lovely prose that wraps around you and draws you deep into a unique and incredible story."" —Diana Rowland, author of the Kara Gillian novels ""Original and wildly inventive, Aunt Tigress takes place in a world of intersecting mythologies and storylines. With prose as vivid as black stripes on an orange hide, and characters who leap snarling off the page, Emily Yu-Xuan Qin’s debut novel is as exhilarating as it is thoughtful and tender."" —D. M. Bryan, author of Pugg’s Portmanteau
