Synopsis

Kelsea Yu’s DEMON SONG is a modern gothic horror novella that draws inspiration from the musical Phantom of the Opera and mythology from the 16th-century Chinese classic, Journey to the West.
On the run from an abusive man, Megan Liu and her mom find work cleaning an ancient Beijing opera house in exchange for room and board. Meeting Kristy, the lead performer of the theater’s current show, ignites Megan’s long-buried singing ambition. But Kristy’s hiding something; and digging into her secrets, Megan uncovers more mysteries—including her mom’s childhood connection to the theater and a decades-old murder. The more Megan learns, the more her dreams and reality begin to blur. Something’s calling her from deep within the opera house, and it’s ravenous…Design by Simon Mann. Images (c) Shutterstock.
