But the bloody messes don't bother her, not when she's already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister being pushed in front of a train.   The killer was never caught, and Cora is still haunted by his last words: bat eater.   These days, nobody can reach Cora: not her aunt who wants her to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, not her weird colleagues, and especially not the slack-jawed shadow lurking around her doorframe.   After a series of unexplained killings in Chinatown, Cora believes that someone might be targeting East Asian women, and something might be targeting Cora herself.   Soon, she will learn . . . you can't just ignore hungry ghosts.  🦇 'A profound reminder of the true horrors that lurk in the world' TORI BOVALINO 🦇  🦇 'A serial killer mystery and a heartbreaking portrayal of grief' KIRSTY LOGAN 🦇  🦇 'This book dug its claws into me and would not let go' LING LING HUANG 🦇  🦇 'Body horror and female rage fiction combine in a powerful novel that will leave you quaking' ALMA KATSU 🦇🦇 'A poignant, searing portrait of the hostility and violence that plagued pandemic-era NYC' VERONICA G.
