brand new secret shanghai content!

and by brand new I mean we’re going back in time to February 1923: it’s the Lunar New Year, Roma and Juliette are in love (the first time), and the Scarlet Gang and White Flowers have accidentally booked out the same restaurant for their celebrations…

this bonus short is coming in the LIMITED PRINT These Violent Delights Vault edition from Hodderscape UK, on shelves in exactly one month!

you’ll also find a brand new jacket cover colour, an exclusive foil design on the hardback, a solid black sprayed edge, an author letter, and a digital signature—once it’s gone it’s gone, so make sure to preorder to snag your copy on May 22 🖤

Hi Chloe! I hope you are doing well getting ready for Coldwire!

I'm a classics major, and I am begging you to reference Caesarion in someway in F&FG3, I think it'd be so funny

i just turned in coldwire's proofread today so I am at last finally well and freed of every little minor grammar adjustment in that book!! it's a real book soon off to the printers!!

this is also such a funny note, I did have to make my peace with cutting any caesarions the moment I made Kasa the old guy instead of a sexy tyrant contender for calla's hand, but maybe we can resurrect caesarion as calla's old pet pigeon who august wants to drown or something

coldwire ARCs now exist and until they start winging their way out... a sneak peek of what to expect...

[chloegong]

behold!!! the cover reveal for COLDWIRE is here!!!

the gorgeous artwork is by Sean + Eve (there.is.studio) and this is the cyberpunk cover of my dreams. Coldwire is my first foray into the futuristic, into a world where the cities are online and neon and throwing explosives at big corps (I suppose that’s just Nik), and I am so excited for this book to be in the world… November 4th, 2025 😁

until then, People Magazine has revealed the cover alongside the synopsis—at last, meet Eirale and Nik, and Lia and Kieren

I know what you are (a clace fan)

LMAOOOO

Have you read Vicious by V.E. Schwab?

I'm halfway through right now! one thing about me I love some toxic codependency

[chloegong]

I just want to thank you for all of the wonderful representation you’ve given us in Rosalind and Alisa (and also Benedikt but idk if he’s canon). A lot of us on here are on the aro/ace spectrums, and it means the world to us 💜

🥹!!! It means the world to me that I get to write this because the teen me who was reading would have killed to have the representation!!! Thank you for saying that!!!

(Benedikt is most definitely canon) (Honestly ace spectrum rep is just my default, I have to try really hard to be writing the allos, looking at you Orion)

Chloe, is Flesh and False Gods #3 a 2025 or 2026 release?! Asking for a friend….

2026! at the moment my publisher has it tentatively slated for the early summer, but it'll depend on when I actually finish writing it hahahah—

you would do numbers with a pride and prejudice adaptation

i appreciate that, anon

pride & prejudice & zombies is one of my favorite movies of all time so i feel like the best adaptation title has been taken though but mayhap we can let this cook

happy 2025! to start with year with mystery, here's two of my secret pinterest boards for secret projects: some in progress, some only for me; some utterly new, some linked to what exists.

Who would win in a fight, Calla or Juliette?

Oh my god, Calla without question

Juliette relies a lot on people being scared of her to keep most opps back and even though she's skilled I feel like Calla is just on a level of being insane... of course if the interdimensional portal put Calla and Juliette in one universe hopefully they would be like two black cats tentatively making an alliance but I once described Calla as "Juliette if she was never loved and also possibly on drugs" because I was working with the same archetype with these two, just in two very different universes 😀

my biggest proof that i was a tumblr user before i was a professional on any other platform is that i have this url, idk why or what i'm going to use it for it just felt right to claim before i even finished publishing all the books

fafg3 is slated in spring 2026 alas!!! but coldwire is expected for september 2025 so mayhap a gift from my publisher is on the horizon (no promises though, they do what they like, any ask from me goes to the void 💀)

Chloe Gong all I’m saying is that you should at least ask your publishers for the FAFG book 3 release date to be September 16th. Because that’s my birthday. And it would be a wonderful gift

THE COUNTDOWN HAS IN FACT ENDED and I did very much enjoy the live self-gaslighting happening while people tried to figure out if the lines were actually disappearing every hour

I am bouncing up the walls with excitement to announce that my next YA is on the way—not one, not two, but ✨three✨ upcoming books!!! COLDWIRE is the expansive, futuristic world I’ve adored creating in secret, and I can’t wait to share more soon… Mark your calendars for Fall 2025 🫶🏻

Follow up question, what would happen if Rosalind's head was cut off? What if someone held it on afterwards? Would it have healed? Would she have ended up okay?

I'm kind of obsessed with how specific this goes,,, honestly I think a head-chop means she'd be a goner 💀 Like Rosalind wasn't actually immortal per se, she just seals up really fast, and her head getting lopped off probably means the blood is going faster than she'd heal. Like maybe if it was a girl-with-the-green-ribbon type situation and she only had a razor cut all the way through and the head stayed really pressed to her neck to stanch the blood she'd be okay? But otherwise even when she got her throat slashed she was like oh god am I going to seal up before I bleed out so we'd need Orion on stand-by holding her like an unmoving bobblehead in this hypothetical to keep her life.
