About this Story:

I was in China writing a script for a big fantasy film when I penned this short story. Originally I had planned on setting it on the American plains in the early 1800s, but after months of work in researching ancient Chinese history, mythology, culture and magic—and after traveling through the Gobi desert and into the areas where this story is set—I decided to create something a little more exotic.

At the same time, I was thinking much upon the theme of this story—how the older generation, time after time, depletes itself in an effort to feed its children. The result is a horrific story that makes use of ancient Chinese magic tropes, and which recently received some strong movie interest in China.

This story was first published in the “Way of the Wizard” anthology.
