Learn moreGenre-blending stories of transformation and belonging that centre women of colour and explore queerness, family, and community.
A couple in a crumbling marriage faces divine intervention. A woman dies in her dreams again and again until she finds salvation in an unexpected source. A teenage misfit discovers a darkness lurking just beyond the borders of her suburban home.
The stories in Chrysalis, Anuja Varghese’s debut collection, are by turns poignant and chilling, blurring the lines between the real world and worlds beyond. Varghese delves fearlessly into complex intersections of family, community, sexuality, and cultural expectation, taking aim at the ways in which racialized women are robbed of power and revelling in the strange and dangerous journeys they undertake to reclaim it.

Reviews
Ruthless in its quest to leave readers both sweetly satisfied and ravenous for more, Chrysalis disintegrates genre barriers with some of the most haunting, delicious, and emotionally resonant language I have ever read. This is the short story in all its craft mastery. Anuja Varghese is about to become a household name.
[Varghese’s] raw and poignant writing works beautifully to tell stories of belonging, family, and identity.
