Short Stories

The Aperture of Sheung Wan

The Translator

A linguist of dead languages receives an unlabelled manuscript from an unknown city and finds that the text begins to annotate itself across an unbridgeable distance. A literary slipstream story about the limits of translation and the persistence of meaning.

The Cartography of Silence

A census surveyor for the Hong Kong government visits a public housing estate where residents are not sleeping, a wooden door has appeared in the courtyard, and the line between counting and changing the count begins to dissolve. A slow-burn clinical dread in the style of Thomas Ligotti and Peter Watts.
