Bandit heroes, horse-dragons, beheadings that don't stick, and warlords who become gods. Old Chinese lit is wayyy trippier than you think. And John Zhu built a podcast that retells it in English! See our #flightsoffoundry interview with him at 7PM CDT tonight: www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

Picture of John Zhu under the "Flights of Foundry" banner, with "Guest of Honor: A/V Narrative" and the dates and slug of the Flights of Foundry convention (Sept 18-20 Virtual, https://flights-of-foundry.org, "The round-the-clock, international convention for speculative creatives and fans")

I read THE LANGUAGE OF LIARS by @slhuang.com last night for a bedtime story and was very very very unprepared for how much that ending would devastate me. Guh. (Do read it.)

How do you plan a creative project that will last 3+ years? John Zhu knew bringing ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS to English podcast form would take at least that long. 12 years and 4 Chinese epics later... See us interview him 7PM CDT at #flightsoffoundry! www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

Ancient Chinese literature is rife with melee fights, larger-than-life characters, & the supernatural. John Zhu is making these epics accessible to modern English audiences -- as a podcast! We'll interview him as #flightsoffoundry Guest of Honor, today 7PM CDT: www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

I finished @slhuang.com's powerful, poignant THE LANGUAGE OF LIARS in one sitting. I'm a sucker for SFF that involves linguistics and social issues; this novel has both in spades. I figured out the endgame pretty early but that by no means diminished my enjoyment. Superbly done.

I'm in the middle of Villain by @nataliezed.bsky.social ; it's amazing so far. It's a sequel to Hench, one of my all-time favorites. Just finished The Language of Liars by @slhuang.com , heartbreaking and wonderful. Also Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social was a bunch of fun.

I went in to "The Language of Liars" knowing nothing but the title because luckily the first mention I saw was more or less "do yourself a favor and don't read anything else about it befoe you read this book!" 100% agree, top tier experience. I didn't even read the jacket copy or the inside flap. 😂
