Mary Magdalene, Daughter, Boatperson

by Diana Khong

After their mother's death, three Vietnamese siblings find ill-suited coping mechanisms: the eldest gambles with the neighborhood aunties, the middle sibling falls in love, and the youngest encounters a goblin (in the form of an Asian grandmother) who tells her her mother has gone to hell. So she follows her down.
