The Girl from the Well Series

Their debut novel The Girl from The Well tells the story of Okiku, a vengeful spirit who hunts for abusers and eats their souls, who finds herself in a battle with another evil spirit when she falls for Tark, the boy that the spirit is tethered to.[10] It was published by Sourcebooks Fire in August 2014 and received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[10] Chupeco says that it was inspired by Japanese horror, particularly the Japanese legend of the Bancho Sarayashiki and the Ju-on: The Grudge movies, which they rewatched multiple times prior to writing the book.[4] With the novel, Chupeco aimed to try a spin on the topic that had not been done before by making the ghost character the sympathetic anti-heroine.[4]

A companion novel, The Suffering, continues the story of Okiku and Tark as they travel the country.[11]

The Bone Witch Series

The first novel in the series, The Bone Witch, follows Tea, a teen with the ability to raise the dead, who finds herself caught in a struggle for power as she explores her newfound abilities after she accidentally resurrects her late brother.[12]

Chupeco says that their writing often is very experimental, mixing different styles and themes, which led to them writing The Bone Witch in order to tell the story of characters in two different time periods.[4] The Bone Witch series was inspired by Filipino witch doctors, mangkukulam.[4] They also drew on Middle Eastern folklore and influences, like the Ayyubid dynasty and Wahhabism.[13] The witch aspect was inspired by real-life geisha.[4] The Bone Witch was published by Sourcebooks Fire in February 2017 and received starred reviews from Shelf Awareness[14] and Publishers Weekly.[12]

The sequel, The Heart Forger, was published in February 2019.[15] It received starred reviews from Booklist[16] and Foreword Reviews.[17] The last novel in the series, The Shadowglass, was published in March 2019.[18]

Early reviews highlight its innovative structure and escalating dread, positioning it as a timely commentary on perceived security in small-town America.

Writing style and themes

Influences and inspirations

Chupeco's writing draws heavily from Asian folklore and horror traditions, particularly Japanese ghost stories such as the legend of Okiku from Bancho Sarayashiki, which inspired the vengeful spirit protagonist in their debut novel The Girl from the Well (2014). This tale of a murdered servant girl haunting her killer shaped Chupeco's exploration of sympathetic yet terrifying female ghosts, reimagining the onryō archetype from J-horror films like The Ring (1998) and The Grudge (2002). In their fantasy works, such as The Bone Witch series, Chupeco incorporates Southeast Asian elements, including Filipino mangkukulam witch doctors—who are both revered for healing and feared for curses—as a model for the dual-natured dark asha characters. Zoroastrian demons inform the daeva creatures, while broader Middle Eastern influences, like the Ayyubid dynasty under Saladin, underpin the political structures of the Eight Kingdoms world. Literary influences include classic horror authors like , whose gothic style permeates Chupeco's tributes, such as The Murders in the Rue Apartelle, Boracay (2019), a post-typhoon mystery blending Poe's tales with Filipino settings. , encountered early in Chupeco's reading life, particularly Pet Sematary (1983), fueled their interest in and themes of loss. Other favorites encompass Neil Gaiman's mythic storytelling, which encouraged their persistence in writing; Michelle West and Jacqueline Carey's epic fantasies; and YA authors like , , and , whose works influence their blend of and identity exploration. Chupeco also draws from non-fiction like (2005) for economic insights into world-building and Madeline Miller's (2018) for reinterpreting mythology through marginalized voices. Media beyond literature shapes their narratives, including the TV series Dexter (2006–2013), which inspired the anti-heroic vigilante in The Girl from the Well by portraying killers of killers as tragic figures. Anime like Ranma 1/2 (1989–1992) informed their understanding of gender fluidity, influencing queer themes in works like The Never Tilting World (2019). The post-apocalyptic aesthetics of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) guided the barren, unforgiving landscapes in that duology, emphasizing sparse settings to heighten tension. Early exposure to Asian ghost stories, such as The Ghost in the Cupboard, and Western classics like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) further deepened their focus on prejudice, justice, and sympathetic monsters in horror.

Recurring motifs

Rin Chupeco's works frequently explore the motif of the outcast empowered by forbidden or dark magic, portraying characters who navigate societal rejection while harnessing abilities that both liberate and isolate them. In the Bone Witch trilogy, protagonist embodies this as a dark , a necromancer derisively called a "bone witch" for her ability to raise the dead, which marks her as an outsider in a world that reveres yet fears such power. This tension between magical potential and its perilous consequences recurs across the series, as seen in The Heart Forger, where the use of prohibited spells underscores broader themes of and control, reflecting the author's interest in how societies vilify what they cannot comprehend. Queer identity emerges as another pervasive motif, integrated organically into Chupeco's narratives as a natural aspect of character formation rather than a subplot. Drawing from their own non-binary and pansexual experiences, Chupeco infuses stories with diverse sexualities and gender expressions, such as the transgender asha Likh in The Bone Witch or the polyamorous relationships in Silver Under Nightfall. These elements highlight themes of self-acceptance and resilience against prejudice, often paralleling the ostracism faced by supernatural figures; in interviews, Chupeco notes that queerness is "baked in from the start," mirroring their approach to horror where ghosts and monsters evoke sympathy as misunderstood entities. Recent works, such as We're Not Safe Here (2025), continue to explore these intersections of identity, horror, and societal bias. Human prejudice as the true monstrosity recurs alongside supernatural horror, subverting traditional tropes to critique real-world biases. In The Girl from the Well, the vengeful spirit Okiku targets abusers, positioning humans as the source of terror rather than the ethereal entities, a pattern echoed in The Suffering where familial and cultural expectations amplify isolation. Chupeco's fascination with Asian influences this motif, blending vengeance and redemption to examine how of the "other"—be it magical, , or spectral—perpetuates cycles of exclusion.
