In Conversation with Queenie ChanA brief overview of Queenie’s career, followed by a conversation spanning her best known and recent projects. Discussion of her influences and ideas about dark storytelling as it relates to genre and gender representations in her work.Queenie Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1980, and migrated to Australia when she was six years old. In 2004, she began drawing a 3-volume mystery-horror series called The Dreaming for LA-based manga publisher TOKYOPOP. To date, it has been translated into multiple languages. She has since collaborated on several single-volume graphic novels with best-selling author Dean Koontz, as prequels to his Odd Thomas series of novels. After that, she worked on Small Shen, the prequel to Kylie Chan’s White Tiger Chinese fantasy series. She is currently living in Sydney, Australia, and is working on a series of 8 short ghost stories, titled The Man with the Axe in his Back. It will be out as e-books in both prose and comics-prose format in August 2014.
