  ‘An important new voice’ DAVID YIP, actor 
  ‘A vital resource’ PEYVAND SADEGHIAN, actor and writer 
  ‘Important and poignant…A brilliant read’ HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin 
  What does it mean to exist at the intersection of cultures? 
  Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist, asked where she’s really from or greeted with Ni hao on the assumption she speaks Mandarin. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider. 
  In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity. 
  In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘China virus’, ‘China plague’ and ‘Kung flu’, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change. 
  'If you’re looking to expand your understanding of the community, this book is an essential addition to your reading list’ LORD SONNY LEONG CBE 
  *Audiobook narrated by Katie Leung (Harry Potter) 
  In this riveting autobiography, Daisy J. Hung delves into the personal and cultural aspects of her life, challenging the stereotypes and prejudices that often plague the British Chinese community. Her memoirs, a blend of non-fiction and biography, offer a unique perspective on immigration and emigration, and the complexities of regional and ethnic identities.

  The Plague explores the profound changes and enduring continuities that shaped European society in the wake of the Black Death and other crises of the 1300s. Through a series of thematic chapters, the book examines the resilience of communities, the evolution of social and economic structures, the persistence of faith, and the seeds of cultural and intellectual transformation. Far from being an age of unmitigated darkness, the fourteenth century emerges as a dynamic period of adaptation, creativity, and the quiet beginnings of the modern world.

  Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative retelling of Herman Melville's classic, Moby Dick. From bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, Alexis Hall.They are monsters. They are legends.And they are our prey.Earth is dead. Which leaves us stuck living in atmospheric domes on planets that will kill us if we blink wrong, or run out of fuel. And by ‘fuel’ I mean cerebrospinal fluid, harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters.I joined the hunt hoping to get paid and maybe laid, but mostly paid. And I followed a charismatic captain eager to face these beasts and to howl her defiance across the skies of Jupiter. On her crew, I met Q, a woman from the wreck of old Earth, who might have kept me grounded. Or then again, perhaps not.We were ordered to hunt the greatest leviathan of all, and we fought beasts and ships and one another. Then we finally met our nemesis, there above the red heart of that world. Spoiler: it didn’t end well.‘Moby Dick meets Treasure Planet by way of Fleabag – an unbelievable accomplishment from a tremendous author’- Sarah Gailey, author of Spread Me and Just Like Home‘Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet . . . intricate perfection’- Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden‘Wow’- John Scalzi, author of Starter Villain
