Living in the Song dynasty as a Chinese woman, Xiao Yan is expected to perform all kinds of social rituals as a wife and daughter-in-law. But her music and her dreams help connect her to an unconscious version of her she didn't even know existed - a version that is free, untethered by the expectations of men, and... er, yes, a monstrous giant bat.
The Wife's Shadow is a 7-page comic short I contributed to Wayward Sisters: An Anthology of Monstrous Women. The full book was published in 2018, and is available here, from TO Comix Press!
