With The Night Eaters: She Eats The Night hitting stores October 11, Popverse caught up with Marjorie Liu to ask her about the book’s origins, its inspirations, and just how timely the book still feels with COVID commentary years after it was originally written.
Ipo believes that she has the solution to all of their problems: cleaning up the house next door, which has been abandoned since a murder took place there years earlier… but there’s more awaiting them in that house than just some mopping and scrubbing. It’s a story about two Chinese American twins, Milly and Billy, whose business is failing along with their personal lives, with both having to additionally deal with a visit from their parents, Ipo and Keon. But while that high fantasy series has bewitched readers in its slow, deliberate unfolding of a narrative rooted in both the kaiju and steampunk genres, She Eats The Night - and the entire Night Eaters trilogy - is something else entirely: more contemporary, more filled with ideas from horror and family dramas, and perhaps most surprisingly, far more funny.
The first book of a trilogy from Abrams ComicArts, She Eats The Night comes from the multiple award-winning creative team of Image Comics’ Monstress, Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. The Night Eaters: She Eats The Night isn’t the book that you think that it is, in the best way imaginable.
