"Elegant, assured. . . . Fu reveals the power of genre fiction to use the fantastic to capture the painfully real. And just like one of the novel's ghosts, Eleanor will stay with readers for a long time." - The New York Times

"Fu’s prose and writing are lethal and blunt arrows, always landing on the bull’s eye. . . . The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts is a whirlwind of human experience." - The BC Review of Books

"Fu’s titular ghosts, both living and dead, continue to deny Eleanor any semblance of home sweet home. Fu hauntingly, elliptically unravels their vengeful agendas." - Booklist

"Real hauntings, like real life, are never simple. Fu captures that with memorable elegance. Highbrow horror that’s still a page-turner." - Kirkus, starred review

"A taut and affecting ghost story, employing familiar horror elements in a wholly refreshing way." - Literary Review of Canada

“Illustrates the horrors of home ownership and everyday life, brought to life by Kim Fu’s blisteringly ingenious writing.” - Chicago Review of Books, A Best Book of March

“Alluring. . . . a vivid portrait of mental fragility in the face of such an overwhelming situation, one that will resonate with any new homeowner.” - Publishers Weekly

“This book has all the weirdness, madness, and surreal beauty we’ve come to expect of Kim Fu’s work. Part psychological horror, part existential philosophy, and a whole lot of ghosts—a chilling and pitch perfect experience, I read it in one feverish dream.” - Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of White Ivy

“A story addictive enough to devour in one sitting, The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts introduces a world in which quotidian fears bloom luridly into nightmare. Through Eleanor’s eyes, twenty-first century terrors are considered in all their varied forms: technological interference, the violence of loneliness, and worst, the kinds of natural and psychological damage we’ve brought upon ourselves. I looked up from this book and saw everything around me in higher definition.” - Lucy Tan, author of What We Were Promised

“[Fu] is a propulsive storyteller, using clear and cutting prose to move seamlessly through time.” - New York Times Book Review

“I was utterly enthralled by Kim Fu's The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts, a brilliantly written tale of grief, loneliness, and the horrors of real estate. Images from this novel will probably haunt me forever. Fu's writing is unsparing and possessed of eerie beauty. A bold and searing work by a writer working at the top of their game.” - Kate Folk, author of Sky Daddy

“Gorgeous and profoundly moving, Kim Fu's The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts lays bare the lonely abyss of grief and all of its disorienting contours. Just when I thought I would drown, she brought me to the surface, gasping for air. An extraordinary and unforgettable novel.” - Talia Lakshmi Kolluri, author of What We Fed to the Manticore

“A haunting reflection on the difficulty of truly embracing independence as a young woman. Fu’s wonderfully unbalanced Eleanor is a therapist whose own reality becomes unmoored after her mother’s death. After buying a home with her inheritance, the windows and walls refuse to behave, and an unending succession of evil handy men begin to come through her door. In Fu’s universe ex-boyfriends and ghosts are equally terrifying propositions. Troubling and satisfying. Fu’s writing is as precise as it is mysterious, as beautiful as it is horrifying."” - Arizona O’Neill, author of Opioids and Organs

“Kim Fu writes with grace, wit, mischief, daring, and her own deep, weird, phosphorescent understanding.” - Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Ghost Variations: One Hundred Stories

“Impressive . . . A harrowing work of psychological horror.” - Washington Independent Review of Books

“Fu digs deeply into the impacts of social isolation. . . . Readers will root for [Eleanor] while commiserating with the pitfalls of housing prices and memories of atmospheric rivers.” - The Seattle Times
