I am the author of twelve books and a teacher at the Language Institute of Thammasat University. My first novel, The Scribe, a comedy about Bangkok nightlife, was published by DK Books in 2000. The follow-up, Thailand Joy, came out in 2003. After the decline of DK Books, I turned to self-publishing and released several titles over the next two decades. While my audience has remained niche, reviews have been positive, and I believe I’ve achieved something of a cult status here in Thailand.
My initial venture into horror was the novel Filthy Appetites, a comedic take on the legend of the Krasue—a woman’s head and entrails that fly through the night in search of food. The story unfolds through multiple perspectives, including the creature’s caretaker, a down-on-his-luck magician, the host of a ghost-hunting TV show, and the creature herself.
Filthy Appetites was published by Silkworm Press in 2023 and later translated into Spanish through Babelcube.
My latest novel, Skinworn, is a tale of survival horror. As monsoon floods engulf a small Thai neighborhood, a series of mysterious deaths among young men revives the legend of the “Widow Ghost” — the spirit of a woman who perished in a fire twenty years ago.
At the center of the mystery stands Dew, a 20-year-old intersex youth whose existence seems to defy the curse itself. Raised as a girl by his fearful mother to shield him from the Widow’s wrath, Dew has only recently begun living as his true self — just as the killings intensify. His childhood friend Ploy, now a university student investigating the disappearances of political activists, returns home as rising waters threaten to consume their community.
When Dew, Ploy, and their friends set out on a desperate mission through the flooded streets, they are drawn into a struggle against forces both human and supernatural. To survive, they must uncover the truth behind the Widow’s haunting and confront the buried sins of their neighborhood before it pulls them all into the depths of darkness.
I believe that with the proper reach, this novel could achieve strong sales and popularity as an exciting and terrifying story of survival, gender identity, and coming of age. Its distinctly Thai setting adds to its originality and appeal.
