'Sprinkled in folkloric wisdom and speculative darkness, Gina Chung’s story collection, Green Frog, humors and haunts with thoughtful precision' - Elle

Here are fifteen pitch-perfect stories about women trying to make their own way: featuring daughters, divorcees, fox demons, a praying mantis, and . . . green frogs.

A young girl reconnects with her Korean grandmother; an artist considers her connection to the Korean folktale of the green frog; a praying mantis living in a beautiful home overlooking the park finds the New York dating scene leaves her hungering for more; a fox demon seeks revenge for her murdered sister, only for her loyalties to be torn; AI brings a grieving mother’s daughter back to life; at a spa in the mountains, a recently divorced woman has a ghostly encounter; and a recipe book instructs the reader on ‘how to eat your own heart’.

From Gina Chung, the author of Sea Change, this collection of fifteen offbeat, scintillating stories influenced by Korean fairy tales and contemporary ennui, shines a light on womanhood in all of its human (and other) forms.

    Chung’s talents are on full display in these contemplative tales.
    Green Frog glitters and haunts, remaining with you until, slowly, you start to see yourself and your surroundings differently.
    Though the women in these stories are not always human, they have very human problems; as it turns out, being a mantis comes with its own relationship issues.
    Sprinkled in folkloric wisdom and speculative darkness, Gina Chung’s story collection, Green Frog, humors and haunts with thoughtful precision.
    Green Frog is remarkable. The stories hit, each one, and land with such seeming perfection . . . There is so much raw power and emotion in these stories that after finishing each one, I felt more and more alive (Morgan Talty, award-winning author of Night of the Living Rez)
    With Green Frog Gina Chung further announces herself as a bold new voice . . . Pulsating with heart and profound emotional intelligence, these masterful short stories build into a tapestry of wonder. These powerful characters with their voices rendered so elegantly will stay with you long after the last page (Kali Fajardo-Anstine, bestselling author of Woman of Light)
    In Green Frog, magic comes in many forms . . . Every story in this collection feels heart-thumpingly alive (Allegra Hyde, author of The Last Catastrophe)
    Gina Chung writes with great heart and daring. Her stories reach for new ways of framing the Korean-American experience (Yoon Choi, author of Skinship)
