Li Mei

Li Mei is a master of the dark historical thriller, weaving ancient Chinese folklore with chilling supernatural suspense. With a background in East Asian antiquities and a lifelong fascination with the forgotten crypts of the Tang Dynasty, she brigs an eerie, meticulous authenticity to her world-building.
Her stories often explore the thin veil between the living and the dead, drawing inspiration from classical mythology, cursed artifacts, and the haunting landscapes of rural China. Her prose is known for being as beautiful as it is terrifying, often leaving readers checking over their shoulders long after they've turned the final page.
When she isn't unearthing terrifying new legends, she divides her time between a mist-shrouded mountain retreat in Sichuan and a quiet, shadow-filled study in Hong Kong.
