I’m a horror fan, so naturally I was excited when the cover brief for Lindsay Wong’s new book arrived in my inbox. I immediately asked Lindsay’s editor, Deborah Sun de la Cruz, for a copy of the manuscript. As I dug in, I paid close attention to the style and tone of the writing, attempting to draw out the visual personality of the story. If the book were an image, what would it look like? Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality is a collection of surreal and hilarious immigrant horror stories that mixes ancient myth with modern day social satire, explores themes of family, trauma, vanity and love, and is populated by a gruesome assortment of ghouls, ghosts and zombies. This was going to be interesting!
