A.Y. Chao is a Taiwanese-Canadian author whose debut novel combines Chinese mythology with urban fantasy in a wildly entertaining package.
Shanghai Immortal is a fantasy novel set in a version of 1930s Shanghai inhabited by gods, demons, and supernatural beings from Chinese mythology. The protagonist — a half-fox spirit, half-dragon — navigates the city's immortal underworld in a story that combines mythology, mystery, noir, and razor-sharp humour.
The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a brilliantly original, culturally rich fantasy. Chao's work appeals to fans of urban fantasy, Chinese mythology, and anyone looking for fantasy fiction that is both culturally grounded and unapologetically fun.
