Book Summary and Reviews of Linghun by Ai Jiang

Media Reviews

"Ai Jiang's Linghun is the ache that follows after every funeral, when the mourners are gone and nothing is left but the haunting of memories. A ruthlessly precise meditation on what grief does to the heart, Linghun is a must-read if you enjoy crying your way through every chapter of a book." —Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth

"Ai Jiang probes the very notion of ghosts to offer us something far more haunting: it is the living who we should fear the most, where the boundless parameters of our own grief lay down the blueprint for an altogether new Hill House to inhabit." —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters
