SUMMARY:ASIAN FEMINIST HORROR Panel: Featuring NEEDLEMOUTH
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening as we celebrate Asian Feminism in Horror! \n\nWe’re celebrating K-Ming Chang‘s new novel\, NEEDLEMOUTH\, with a special panel at The Twisted Spine! Join K-Ming Chang\, Catherine Dang (WHAT HUNGER)\, Cassandra Khaw (FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS)\, and Jade Song (CHLORINE) as they discuss modern Asian Feminist perspectives in Horror. Chandra Claypool (@wherethehorrorsgrow) serves as moderator for this special event. \nCan’t make the event? Preorder your signed copy of NEEDLEMOUTH here! \nAbout NEEDLEMOUTH: \nCousins Cindy\, Yangyang\, and Mandy’s hot\, tedious summer unfolds in their grandmother’s hauntingly familiar house. Mandy\, the eldest\, seeks connection online and exchanges emails with a stranger. Yangyang\, the youngest\, retreats into her own imagination in search of meaning. But every morning Cindy wakes with strange objects in her mouth: a button\, a berry\, a coin. \nOne night\, a starved figure with a mouth the size of a needle-tip appears at Cindy’s bedside. She is hunger-afflicted\, a demon with no descendants to feed from: she is Needlemouth. Part vampire\, part hungry ghost\, Needlemouth forces the girls into a grim task to end a man’s life. \nCindy\, Yangyang\, and Mindy are plunged in and out of the demon realm\, where they are called to break out of the indifference and numbness of their claustrophobic worlds\, and where they are met with the most rageful and resistant parts of themselves. In a quest to satisfy the demon’s hunger\, they unravel their shared grief and reckon with the cyclical violence that shaped their family. For readers of Akwaeke Emezi and Carmen Maria Machado\, K-Ming Chang has crafted a reimagined coming of age novel that asks: what does it mean to become the monster instead of slaying it \n  \n\nK-Ming Chang is a Lambda Literary Award winner\, a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree\, and an O. Henry Prize winner. She is the author of Bestiary\, Gods of Want\, Organ Meats\, and a novella titled Cecilia. She has been longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize\, the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award\, and the Otherwise Award. \nCatherine Dang is the author of the novels Nice Girls and What Hunger. A graduate of the University of Minnesota\, she currently resides in Brooklyn. \nCassandra Khaw is the USA Today bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Library at Hellebore\, Nothing But Blackened Teeth\, The Salt Grows Heavy\, Breakable Things\, and coauthor of The Dead Take the A Train with Richard Kadrey. They are an award-winning game writer. \nJade Song is an artist and the author of novels I Love You Don’t Die and Chlorine\, which was lauded as “visionary and disturbing\,” won the Alex Award and the Writer’s Center First Novel Prize\, and translated into five languages. Her third book\, Ox Ghost Snake Demon\, is a short story collection structured around the Chinese zodiac animals forthcoming January 2027. They pole dance and live with too many books in Brooklyn. \nChandra Claypool is a Queens based reader whose favorite genres are horror and psychological thrillers. Chandra has been consuming horror since the age of eight\, and now proudly reviewing for Cemetery Dance Online and Scream Horror Magazine. You can find her on Instagram and TikTok under @wherethehorrorsgrow\, talking about horror and thriller books and movies. \nEvent guidelines: \nAuthors will be avialble for signing after the panel. \nIf you have any questions about the guidelines or to request accessibility accommodations\, please contact info@twistedspinebooks.com.

SUMMARY:Invisible No More: East Asian Women in NYC Politics (Documentary)
DESCRIPTION:Director/co-producer Larry Tung alongside co-producer Mehrunnisa Wani will screen and discuss their documentary Invisible No More (2025)\, a project funded by a 2024 Betty Lee Research Endowment Fund award\, highlighting how Asian Americans are no longer just an emerging force in New York City politics\, but are making sweeping strides at all levels of government. Focusing particularly on Brooklyn’s newly designated Asian opportunity district—created in 2023 through the once-a-decade redistricting process to reflect the explosive growth and impact of the Asian American community—the film features City Councilmembers Linda Lee\, Sandra Ung\, and Susan Zhuang\, as well as State Senator John Liu\, as they share their journeys into public service\, detailing how they broke barriers\, took seats at the table\, and now champion the voices of their communities.
