Chloe Gong writes young adult and adult fantasy that combines historical settings, criminal families and supernatural threats. These Violent Delights relocates Romeo and Juliet to 1920s Shanghai, where rival gangs and former lovers Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov confront both family conflict and a mysterious contagion.
