There’s a mix of novels, novellas, short story collections, and even poetry in here to satisfy any reading craving you may have. So please enjoy this shortlist of terrifying works of horror by AAPI authors. Preparation for writing this has expanded my TBR and put some new authors on my radar for that, I am always grateful for this opportunity to learn more about books. And I say that as a compliment.īut as an Asian American myself, who also wants to be recognized as both an Asian AND an American, it both amazed (and horrified) me that Asian American and Pacific Islander authors did not immediately pop to the front of my mind. I may be speaking for myself, but when I think of “Asian horror” my first thoughts are of works in translation and their movie adaptations that make me want to pour bleach on my eyeballs. Researching and reading books for this piece has been an unexpectedly needed experience for me.
