Announcing House of Forgotten Souls

I’m so excited to announce my next fantasy duology based on Korean mythology, the first book, House of Forgotten Souls, comes out Winter 2027 with Bloomsbury! It has Korean mythology, jeoseung saja (Korean reapers), ghosts, and shamans.



If you read my Gumiho duology, Wicked Fox and Vicious Spirits, then you met two side characters: a mudang (Korean shaman) and a reaper. I originally wanted to write a third book in the series that would explore more about both. That book never came to fruition, but HoFS and its sequel became my chance to do that. Some people say things happen when they’re meant to, and I felt that was the case with this duology, because when I was ready to draft it, I also had the added benefit of having real-life mudang contacts who I could consult with about their practices.


I’m so excited to keep sharing more about this book with everyone. And if you love K-Drama-esque romantic fantasies with charming ghosts and brooding reapers, then check out House of Forgotten Souls in Winter 2027!

I was literally just looking at plague map 2026 before I saw this announcement! I’m so glad the mudang and reaper from Wicked Fox are getting their own story, and consulting with real-life mudang must have made the worldbuilding even richer. Winter 2027 feels far away but definitely worth the wait.

mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. mình không tìm hiểu sâu chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục cách sắp xếp جلب الحبيب các mục và trình bày nội جلب الحبيب dung tổng thể. cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các hurentest berlin mục rõ ràng Huren Berlin nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

Winter 2027 feels like ages away, but this announcement has me so pumped for House of Forgotten Souls! Combining Korean mythology with jeoseung saja and shamans sounds like a truly immersive experience. To help pass the time until then, I often play a quick round of MeowdoKu Game Online to relax.

I'm so excited for the new take on 'charming ghosts and brooding reapers' in House of Forgotten Souls! The world-building sounds incredible, and the wait for Winter 2027 is going to be tough. When I'm brainstorming visuals for my own projects, I sometimes use a Zeva AI Image Generator for quick inspiration.

It's really wonderful that you had real-life mudang contacts to consult with for the duology; that dedication to authenticity will truly shine through. I can't wait to dive into the rich Korean mythology! By the way, I recently picked up a knee brace support and it's been a nice addition to my routine.
