INTERVIEW: Kylie Lee Baker’s Bat Eater Will Haunt You — Here’s Why You’ll Remember Cora Zeng

In this exclusive interview, author Kylie Lee Baker delves into the dark and gripping world of Bat Eater, her new adult horror novel about ghosts, grief, and the horrors we can’t outrun. Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner, unshaken by blood and violence — not after witnessing the unthinkable: her sister being pushed in front of a train. The killer was never caught. But Cora still hears his last words echoing in her mind: bat eater. Years later, Cora is untouchable — avoiding family, colleagues, and the thing that lurks just outside her doorframe. But when a string of unexplained murders begins targeting East Asian women in Chinatown, she realizes she might be next. And the truth is creeping closer: you can’t just ignore hungry ghosts. In this conversation, Kylie shares the inspiration behind Bat Eater, the role of East Asian folklore, and why horror is the perfect genre for telling stories about trauma, identity, and what refuses to stay buried. 🩸 Bat Eater releases April 29 — preorder now or find it wherever books are sold. #BatEater #ghoststory #booktube SUBSCRIBE so as not to miss out on any upcoming videos at Howard's Haunt HERE: https://bit.ly/2KUmvrp Check out all of Howards channels: SCREAM horror movie interviews/reviews/articles: https://bit.ly/3n63XCy Twitter:   / howardgorman   Instagram:   / howser75
