Wolf's Path is an excellent volume of short stories and poetry that range all over the spec fic world, from space to alien invaders to tiger demons and ghosts. The narrators are often everyday people grappling with the worlds around them, and the hitches and surprises that a live accumulates. In stories about transformation, Chng explores gender and sexuality, parenting, disability, and East Asian culture with vivid, compelling language. This is an excellent introduction of Chng's work for new readers, and long-time readers will find it full of treats.

'Wolf's Path' is an intricately exciting collection of speculative stories, poetry, and personal essays that flow together with an undercurrent of warmth and thoughtfulness.

I’ve been reading Joyce Chng’s stories for years now, so I knew that this collection was going to be an engaging, deeply human, and a thoroughly badass read. I was not disappointed! Joyce wonderfully creates stories that expand and question perspectives, with characters that can be as sharp as claws and soft as paw pads. They have a way of embedding the fury of injustices within plotlines so that something kinder can grow in their characters. Each story leaves us with catalysts for reflection, growth, and hope.

My favorites were The Sound of Breaking Glass, The Lessons of the Moon, I Found Love in an Urn Full of Ashes, and Saints and Bodhisattvas.

Highly recommended for those who enjoy memorable, speculative stories that are robustly imaginative and edged with a quiet (sometimes feisty!) intensity.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Atthis Arts, for the eARC.

Whether it's examining fantastical pasts, apocalyptic futures, or the SFnal world we call reality, Wolf's Path is a fascinating exploration of how others use our differences against us, and how our differences ultimately help us find our place in the world. Chng excels at creating unique, relatable characters who will pull you in and stories that will change your perspective.

Highly recommended, especially for those who feel they're stuck between worlds—real or imagined.

Such a slow, thoughtful, lovely and illuminating read! I took my time to savour it, and it was the most rewarding experience, because it felt like a series of evenings with a master storyteller who alqays has something new and different to tell you. A perfect combination of mixed media short form.

When I first requested this from NetGalley, I had never heard of Joyce Chng, and full disclosure it was the cover that attracted me. But it was also the cover that solidified for me after reading maybe a few sentences of th3 synopsis that there was simply now way this would be bad. That was the understatement of the decade. This book will have a place of prominence on my shelves for the rest of my existence. Chng's stories felt so deeply personal to her that at times, I felt like I had stumbled upon their open diary and felt guilty for continuing to read. And yet, there were so many times when it felt like Chng had written the story specifically for me. They somehow knew something about myself. I just didn't know, and this was their way of telling me.

This was simply the greatest collection of short stories I have ever read. A collection I know I will reread hundreds of times over in my lifetime when I need them to encourage me. Quite honestly, I can not thank them enough for sharing their stories with us.

As always, thanks to NetGalley and Atthis Arts for the eArc!
