McKillip, Wen-yi Lee, and Andrea Hairston.... Hur has written a truly entrancing novel about the way stories woven through family, heritage, and history can imprison the unwary when unchallenged.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/93b1cd42-c6d1-416f-b436-5749492d0b2f/The+Loom+Tree_Hur_HC_COMP.jpg home - THE LOOM TREE An adult literary fantasy written for all of us children of fairy tales, about preserving our stories and histories and passing them on, defying those who seek to deny, diminish or erase us. My take on “East of the Sun and West of the Moon” and Ungnyeo the Bear Woman of Korean origin myth, set on a college campus and stretching across a dual timeline between a mother and a daughter. Also featuring a moody musician son of Bluebeard, a fragile daughter of a lesser Cinderella, and many other borderless, cross-cultural figures of fairy tale, folklore, and proto-myth spanning continents. A love letter to the study of interdisciplinary liberal arts and to coming-of-age narratives of adolescence and motherhood, full of mythic and pop-cultural archetypes and identity-cultivation through music, literature, film, fashion, infatuation and desire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/0c594264-f304-4d8b-970f-a21fa811cf60/Screenshot+2026-08-25+at+8.37.14%E2%80%AFAM.png home - Epic Mythology Books for Your TBR Angela Mi Young Hur’s The Loom Tree is an ambitious and beautifully layered fantasy that blends Korean mythology, folklore, and magical academia into something wholly original. Through dual timelines, the novel explores identity, family history, and the stories that shape who we become, all while delivering the kind of immersive world-building fantasy readers love. The magical university setting, fairy-tale lineages, and emotionally resonant mother-daughter relationship give the novel remarkable depth. Richly imagined and lyrical from beginning to end, The Loom Tree promises an unforgettable reading experience that will especially appeal to fans of myth-infused fantasy and literary speculative fiction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/da6b8a68-5f95-4496-b6bd-2606118ae8f6/Screenshot+2026-08-25+at+9.38.09%E2%80%AFAM.png home - Back to school with dark academia The Loom Tree will appeal to readers of many genres thanks to its engrossing multigenerational relationships, as V’s relationship with Sharon is juxtaposed with Sharon’s relationship with her own mother. Author Angela Mi Young Hur refreshingly subverts dark academia tropes through V’s casual teen vernacular and the inclusion of Korean American characters and folklore in a typically Eurocentric subgenre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/5fcb1959-480a-478d-b418-d0e8152d6fa7/FOLKLORN.jpg home - FOLKLORN “Vivid and delectable. Angela Hur is equally at home working in the fertile territories of myth and the fantastic as in the nuanced portrayal of a contemporary, complex family. I loved this.” — KELLY LINK, Pulitzer Prize Finalist, MacArthur Fellow, and National Bestselling author of GET IN TROUBLE “Ghost story, family saga, parable, feminist reimagined myth: Angela Mi Young Hur’s hugely ambitious Folklorn is a spellbinding shape-shifter of a novel that tackles questions of race, culture, and history head-on, exploring the blurry boundaries between past and present, fact and fantasy, and personal and cultural—or cosmic.” — CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS and LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE “Folklorn is a work of capacious, original imagination: part supernatural mystery, part immigrant family story. Hur’s mixing and melding of genres is an inventive, elegant means of illuminating the dualities of diasporic experience, as well as a testament to the essential role of stories in understanding our identities.” —PETER HO DAVIES, author of THE FORTUNES and A LIE SOMEONE TOLD YOU ABOUT YOURSELF “Angela Mi Young Hur’s Folklorn is a beautiful meditation on childhood trauma as well as an exploration into Korean heritage; it’s also a gorgeous journey into the intersection of science and myth and how our past traumas shape us – but how they need not define us.” —SWAPNA KRISHNA, NPR Books “This soulful saga is replete with evocative settings and masterfully crafted lives.” -NEWSWEEK, 21 Best Books to Read This Spring 2021 https://www.angelahur.com/bio daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/1e2c3a34-9cde-4df3-91fd-20588af853a9/MGFX0022_WEB_m.anagrius+copy+2.jpg bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/1611434267674-PBJ1GT7H2943DQ3ZP5SN/MGFX0102_WEB_m.anagrius+COL_CROP.jpg bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/1611436254606-5UP24I64DSRXZ6ZRZ28Q/MGFX0097_WEB_m.anagrius.jpg bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/55c9dfdf-db00-4b26-a746-72801771bac0/MGFX0102_WEB_m.anagrius+BW_CROP+copy.jpg bio https://www.angelahur.com/the-loom-tree-1 daily 0.75 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/790bb435-c8ad-42ef-a78c-0d56a7c980f0/PM+Announcement_The+Loom+Tree.jpg https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/ab292981-da9f-420b-a5c5-00b9d1dc3d54/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/ab292981-da9f-420b-a5c5-00b9d1dc3d54/thumbnail the loom tree the loom tree https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/411efc1e-429f-4fd9-a5a2-26c505be72b6/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/411efc1e-429f-4fd9-a5a2-26c505be72b6/thumbnail the loom tree the loom tree https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/33ed12e6-1917-47d4-b4e6-f571d34688fb/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/33ed12e6-1917-47d4-b4e6-f571d34688fb/thumbnail the loom tree the loom tree https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/615dfe27-e657-4740-b97d-fee1aec66bc1/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/615dfe27-e657-4740-b97d-fee1aec66bc1/thumbnail the loom tree the loom tree https://www.angelahur.com/work daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://www.angelahur.com/work/etc monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://www.angelahur.com/work/folklorn monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/1617447242200-659RTMWPTJAKR7OJ3IIE/indie+next+logo.png old home - now available https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c86286c455e4aedfa09d4/1611439670876-U5TWXSNWPZMH6GFJC7AR/FOLKLORN.jpg old home - now available - “Vivid and delectable.
