The Dark We Know
Coming August 13, 2024 from Gillian Flynn Books
A queer YA horror about an art student who must return home and reunite with an estranged boy from her childhood to confront the monster that killed their best friends—before it devours her, too.
Wen-yi Lee is the author of The Dark We Know (Gillian Flynn Books, 2024), a YA horror inspired by Spring Awakening. A Clarion West Workshop alum, her short fiction has appeared in Lightspeed, Uncanny, Strange Horizons, and Nightmare, among others, as well as anthologies including Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity and Southeast Asian speculative collection Fish Eats Lion Redux. She has written, edited and mentored speculative work in venues including Tor.com (now Reactor), Apparition Lit, Author Mentor Match, and National Gallery Singapore.
She is a graduate of University College London, where she studied at intersections of ecology, anthropology, sociology, and literature, while ultimately spending too much time in the theatre. She is now based back home in Singapore, where she likes writing about girls with bite, feral nature, and ghosts.
