End with a recent wuxia article I had much fun writing. There's more on my website. If you're a platform engaging with China's artistic, storytelling output and want a feature on socio-cultural contexts, page or screen traditions behind these, drop me a line! 9/9

Those who follow this account will know, I talk about Chinese indie #music a lot, there was not way I wasn't going to see Shandong black metal band Zuriaake when they were over in London, and it was awesome to be able to cover them, with amazing press photos. 8/ www.weareresonate.com/2019/08/feat...

thanks! Good to see her in featured in yet another story :)

Shang-chi was a character born both out of a love of wuxia storytelling and 20th century "Yellow Peril" viewpoints, it was only right to address this, in the advent of Legend of the Ten Rings, a #film which I was glad to find, redeemed much of this. 7/ #comics #popculture radii.co/article/shan...

Curating Sinophagia was an tricky journey, I had plenty to write about in my Introduction and was thrilled that Anglophone SFF media wanted to publish a version of it, so you can read it before choosing the collection to read. #horror 6/ reactormag.com/excerpts-sin...

As #DoctorWho incorporated the legend of China's pirate queen Madam Ching, it was time to bring the overlooked and underrepresented history of the real woman and her impact, to the world's attention. 5/ #culture www.sixthtone.com/news/1010075

When 3 Body Problem, the Netflix show came out, it was important to put Liu Cixin into context with Chinese society, the rest of its #scifi tradition, and offer my insights on a somewhat controversial series in relation to China's own adaptation by Tencent. 4/ artreview.com/the-three-bo...

Amidst the whole TikTok refugee thing and other polemics, it was heartening to be able to help connect the world through culture and literature, by writing about the current state of Chinese #SFF in the Anglosphere for Reactor. 3/

Thrilled to write about Chinese #horror for @britfantasysoc.bsky.social during this year's Qingming, the first of the annual festivals of the dead for the Chinese. britishfantasysociety.org/on-chinese-h...

My remit spans across popular Chinese cultures, and I'm delighted that my WIP on wuxia storytelling culture, has gained so much enthusiasm from you all, we're still trying to find the best home for it. But next year, I have a new book out on another subject. Stay tuned for more news soon! 5/5

Some classical Chinese ghost stories have been well-loved by English readers, despite the orientalist perspectives that accompanied their 19th century translations, so I was glad to be asked to introduce this classic collection, and in a way, culturally reclaim these works of Chinese literature. 4/

thank you so much! I hope you find it interesting:)

You're absolutely right Felipe, I mean, I only got interested in David Hume because after watching War Games!

Chinese Myths, a book for those who are new to China's amazing pantheons and supernatural bestiaries, want to find out more or get a broad overview. Also fun to dip into if you want to read about things you've come across in Cdramas, movies and games. #culture 3/
