Superfan





One boyband sensation with a tragic secret. One adoring fan determined to uncover it . . .

Lonely college student Minnie feels invisible until she stumbles upon HOURglass: America’s new K-pop inspired boyband obsession. Soon she is memorising the lyrics to every song and staying up late to watch their livestreams, hoping that her favourite member, bad-boy Halo, will see her in the comments.

On the other side of the screen, Halo is also becoming addicted to the adoration from his fans, using their love to paper over the cracks of the tragic past he is determined to keep hidden.

But when Minnie is drawn to a shadowy fan community who believe they need to protect the band members from a dark conspiracy, the line between fandom and obsession begins to blur...

Praise for Superfan

SUPERFAN riveted me. I was a frog being boiled as Zhang pulled me page by page into the book's orbit, with writing that is deceptively perceptive, yearning, and engaging all at once. SUPERFAN is not only an insightful examination of the all-encompassing natures of fandom and stardom, it's a story about ultimately learning to feel whole.
