Why read it?
1 author picked Sinophagia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an exquisitely-arrayed anthology of translated contemporary Chinese horror and has a hearty share of corpses, self-harm, graphic violence, torture, and all manner of physical and psychological abuse.
