Recs if you like Where the Wild Ladies Are...

a collection of inventive, incisive, and invigorating works of contemporary and speculative fiction by women writers of East Asia and its diaspora.

Books set in an Asian or Asian-inspired setting or incorporates elements of an Asian culture or mythology. Only the first book in a series is listed.

I realized that in Asia, magical and supernatural beliefs are steeped in our day-to-day lives. It’s so normalized that we or I, didn’t even think about it. So, I wanted to read more books in this category where magic occurs in everyday life

Weird girl literature, horror, and nonfiction novels, short stories, anthologies, etc.

My favorite Japanese literature translated into English. I use the term literature very broadly here--it's not genre specific. This list includes some manga; I've only listed the first volume for each series.

I've got lots more Japanese lit on my TBR, so I'll continue to update as I find new favorites that I'd like to recommend. ✌️😁

Please note that this is by no means a fully comprehensive list. This is a start in a journey to try to read more globally, and I would love to hear your translated literature recommendations

Collections and anthologies!
