MELISSA YUE loves all things spooky, and she can be found obsessively researching ghost stories, local lore and cultural mythologies over bubble tea. Her work is informed by her experiences in the Chinese-Canadian diaspora community, her previous career in English as a Second Language education, and all her nerdy interests, from Asian dramas to gaming. She graduated from the University of Victoria with a BA in applied linguistics, and she views her writing, like many of her endeavours, as a way to connect to her roots.
