SUMMARY:Book Talk - "The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts" with Author Kim Fu
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2026 the Seaside Public Library will we
 lcome Seattle based author Kim Fu for a talk on their newly released book\
 , "The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts." This event will take place at 2:00pm in
  the Community Room and there will be  time afterwards for a Q&amp\;A. Ad
 ditionally\, Beach Books will be available for book purchases after the ev
 ent.\nFrom the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of "Lesser Kn
 own Monsters of the 21st Century" comes "The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts"—
 an eerie\, spellbinding novel of grief and guilt\, with a razor-sharp eye 
 for the absurdity and melancholy of the internet age.\nIn the aftermath of
  her mother’s death\, Eleanor is unmoored. For years\, her mother orches
 trated every detail of her life—from meals\, to laundry\, to finances—
 so that Eleanor could focus on her career as a therapist. Left to navigate
  the world on her own\, Eleanor clings to her mother’s final directive: 
 use her inheritance to buy a house.\nDesperate to obey her mother one last
  time\, but finding few options she can afford\, Eleanor impulsively buys 
 a model home in a valley-turned-construction site\, a picturesque developm
 ent steeped in a shadowy history. It feels like a fresh start\, until the 
 rain comes—an endless\, torrential downpour. As water seeps in through t
 he house’s cracks\, the line between what is real and what is not begins
  to blur. Haunted by the stories of her patients\, a stream of workmen and
  bureaucrats she can’t trust\, and visions of ghosts from her past and p
 resent\, Eleanor’s reality unravels\, and she is forced to reckon with t
 he secrets she’s buried and the desperate choices she’s made.\nKim Fu 
 is the author of two novels\, a collection of poetry\, and most recently\,
  the story collection "Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century"\, winner
  of the Washington State Book Award\, the Pacific Northwest Book Award\, a
 nd the Danuta Gleed Literary Award\, as well as a finalist for the Scotiab
 ank Giller Prize\, the Ignyte Awards\, and the Shirley Jackson Awards. Fu 
 lives in Seattle\, Washington.
