Big news for Xueting enjoyers today.
Sunday started with a bang, as I woke up to this from the director of MUFANT, who was excited to see Sinofagia (Sinophagia Italian ed.) and our Chinese horror event covered at length by one of the city's major papers, Corriere Torino, who had requested an interview with me. 1/

Had a couple of hours yesterday morning to walk around the wondrous city of Turin, and try its signature chocolate and coffee drink, before heading off to the amazing MUFANT, museum of the fantastic.

Not really sure how I haven't stumbled across this yet but I love it!
I'm travelling back from Turin, but I wanted to welcome you to the 7th episode of #rollfornoodles. Where let the dice decide my dinner. This week's roll shaped up to be one of the tastiest of the series so far, and even tempted out a house recipe. So join me, in a bowl! #dnd

A very quick look at Turin upon arrival, and a wonderful evening with my host, sampling some typical dishes Piedmont cuisines.

This is the result of a conversation on Instagram after I sent out a request for what kind of wuxia stuff people wanted me to talk about while I'm writing the book. One great question that came up was What is Jianghu? Well, the "Rivers and Lakes" have meant many different things, and all of them!

The recording of ghost stories is an essential part of Chinese cultures. Pu Songling's compilation was one of a long line of records of the strange, the spooky, and the supernatural. I'll be at MUFANT in Turin to talk about this and sign Italian copies of Sinophagia!

The annual National Art Academy graduation exhibition in Hangzhou is usually much anticipated. This year, some particular entries by a master student called Nie Shichang, stole the show. Inspired by both new tech and the mechanical arts of the Mo Clan. 1/

It's not a rip off, it's original, East Asian horror has commonalities but we are distinct cultures and need to be seen as such. This is especially important for Chinese creativity, I'm still having to fight the 'copycat' stereotype.
It would be so cool if this was a ripoff of the Ring. Has a similar vibe.

China's been producing some excellent thrillers and dark mysteries, but its ideas of #horror fiction are still somewhat schlocky. Zhou Yu's supernatural horror about a filmmaker who returns with his crew, to the site where his friend disappeared years ago. A refreshing creepy #film for a change.

I understand it can be confusing! Both Di Renjie and Bao Zheng were judges. Di was also a legendary detective. In the traditional Chinese judiciary, judges were in charge of investigating crimes too, see my article on what kickstarted the Tang Dynasty mysteries. 1/ snowpavilion.co.uk/the-tang-dyn...

I hope this is filmed/recorded/streamed. It sounds fascinating.
The #horror of the #gothic, the wonder of #scifi have always bled into each other. In 1977, Ridley Scott blurred the boundaries, introducing us to the xenomorph in Alien. I'll be in Turin 23.11.25 to discuss how they blend into Chinese #popculture and sign copies of Sinophagia, now out in Italian.
