April Fiction: "Hungry Ghosts" by Deborah Wei

Deborah Wei - April 4, 2018
"When he wakes, palms sweating and heart pounding, the ring is almost painful on his heat-swollen finger."

For April, we bring you a story by Deborah Wei about the ways in which invisible family connections tug at individuals through generations, like ghosts that demand to be fed.

—Karissa Chen, Senior Literature Editor

A man leaves his home in the night on a ship bound for an island, knowing he will never return.
