Ivy Fang
This Is Not an Exorcism by Ivy Fang is a darkly funny, visceral debut about a Chinese American con woman posing as an exorcist, until one job becomes terrifyingly real – perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Monika Kim, and T. Kingfisher.
Laurel Meng calls herself an exorcist, but she’s never performed a real exorcism. All she needs to secure her paychecks—spread thin in the face of her mother’s medical bills—is her white clients’ overactive imaginations and boundless ignorance.
When Annie Shaye-Matsuda calls, convinced her late son Taika’s restless spirit is haunting her quaint bed and breakfast, Laurel is relieved to have found a new mark. But Taika is a real ghost with a very real warning: run.
Something far worse than Taika lingers in the bones of Poppy Creek, and Laurel can’t fake her way out of this one. She and Taika—charming, funny, dead Taika—must work together to perform a real exorcism if she hopes to uncover the truth and escape with her money in hand.
But secrets are buried amidst the flowerbeds of Poppy Creek, and if Laurel’s not careful, she will be too.
Kritikerstimmen
“A phenomenal debut that had me up until 5AM reading it in one delighted rush. 11/10, absolutely would choose reading This Is Not an Exorcism over sleep again.”
—Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author
“With its raw exploration of grief, trauma, and complicated family dynamics, Ivy Fang’s terrifying debut hit remarkably close to home. Beneath all the nail-biting scares lies a story that is unexpectedly and achingly tender. I loved it.”
—Monika Kim, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Eyes Are the Best Part
“Both clever and cutting, This Is Not an Exorcism is a fresh and fearless tale that chills your bones and warms your heart.”
—Kylie Lee Baker, USA Today bestselling author of Japanese Gothic
“A big wounded heart of a possession story that deftly balances a bloody bevy of supernatural terrors, familial grief and guilt, cultural inheritance, and a diabolical murder mystery. It explores the things that haunt us, both metaphorically and literally, while never once taking the foot off the gas pedal. An emotional, fast-paced, thrilling debut from an exciting new voice in horror.”
—Philip Fracassi, USA Today bestselling author of The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre
“Fang's debut is absolutely transfixing, from its satirical premise that skewers the racist Western lens of eastern Asian spirituality, to the terrifying house that will have you flipping page after page, to a grief that asks where the line must be drawn. Brilliant, hilarious, and viciously satisfying.”
—Deena Helm, author of Our Cut of Salt
“Brimming with rage, love, and blood, Ivy Fang’s debut is a caper, a love story, and a hatchet aimed right at your throat. Your new favorite author is here.”
—Rebecca Mahoney, author of Thrall
“Grotesque, darkly funny, and heart-stopping, This Is Not an Exorcism cut me to the quick. Twisty and deeply intelligent, with a keen perspective on intergenerational trauma, this book braids together everything I love. You’ve never read grief horror like this before. Fang is a word smithing genius.”
—Taylor Grothe, author of Lethal Kiss
