In this episode of Quills & Chills, I sit down with Kylie Lee Baker, the author of 'Bat Eater and other names for Cora Zeng,' to delve into her latest work and journey as a writer. Kylie, known for her bold voice in speculative fiction, shares insights about her upbringing, writing process, and experiences living in various parts of the world. We discuss the themes and inspirations behind her adult and horror debut, particularly focusing on the rise in anti-Asian hate during the pandemic. Kylie elaborates on the significance of the title 'Bat Eater,' the intriguing concept of the Hungry Ghost Festival, and her protagonist Cora Zang's struggles and resilience.
