Suddenly everyone wants to exploit her new talent—her family, the Vietnamese government, and even the spirits themselves.
Hoa Pham is the author of several books and two plays. Her most recent publication is Empathy, also published by Goldsmiths Press under the Gold SF imprint. She is also the founder of Peril Magazine, an Asian-Australian online arts and culture magazine. Hoa lives in Melbourne, Australia.
"Asks us to imagine different relationships with death. The Other Shore undermines traditional concepts of haunting as fable or myth when it is something that affects the most bureaucratic functions of government." —Timmah Ball, Meanjin
