Step into the strange, the mythic, and the marvellously unsettling with two of speculative fiction’s most exciting voices: Eliza Chan and Sunyi Dean. From underwater cities and East Asian folklore to secret societies that devour books, their stories push the boundaries of genre and imagination.
Joint event with other authors involved in the MONSTROUS TALES anthology by Bloomsbury. Writer’s Block Stage at MCM London. Come listen to us chat, and do a signing afterwards!

Long bio
Sunyi Dean (sun-yee deen) is a multi-award-losing author who was born in rural Texas, grew up in Hong Kong, and now resides in North England. Her family is bilingual and dual-heritage, and she still has relatives in both Hong Kong and the USA.
Sunyi writes cross-genre speculative fiction with a weird slant, and her debut novel, THE BOOK EATERS, was an instant #2 Sunday Times Bestseller. Her next novel, THE GIRL WITH A THOUSAND FACES, launches in May 2026. Some of her short fiction has appeared in places like Interzone, Grimdark Magazine, BBC Radio Leeds, and Tor Dot Com.
In her spare time, she likes buying whisky, collecting dumbbells, and dying in jiu-jitsu. Outside of actual writing, she is perhaps best known for founding and cohosting the Publishing Rodeo Podcast with fellow Tor author, Scott Drakeford, in which they talk frankly about the trad pub industry.
