ⓘ About Benjanun Sriduangkaew
Benjanun’s debut novella “Scale-Bright” was shortlisted for the British Science Fiction Association award, was a 2014 finalist for Campbell Award for Best New Writer. “Scale-Bright” is the first stand alone novella and was released in the year 2014. Julienne’s aunts are the archer that shot down the suns and the woman that lives on the moon. They teach her about how there is more to the city of her birth than meets the eye; how beneath the modern glass and chrome of Hong Kong, there’s gods, demons, and the seethe of some ancient feuds. Being a mortal, Julienne is required to just give them a wide berth, for unlike her divine aunts she’s painfully vulnerable, and is choice prey for any demon.
