Author

A.Y. Chao is a Taiwanese-Canadian author whose debut novel combines Chinese mythology with urban fantasy in a wildly entertaining package. Shanghai Immortal is a fantasy novel set in a version of 1930s Shanghai inhabited by gods, demons, and supernatural beings from Chinese mythology. The protagonist — a half-fox spirit, half-dragon —... navigates the city's immortal underworld in a story that combines mythology, mystery, noir, and razor-sharp humour. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a brilliantly original, culturally rich fantasy. Chao's work appeals to fans of urban fantasy, Chinese mythology, and anyone looking for fantasy fiction that is both culturally grounded and unapologetically fun. Read more Show less
