About the author
A Chou is a Chinese author of suspense and mystery fiction. Public information about the author is limited, and no reliable records of real name, nationality, or dates of birth and death are currently available. Judging from the works held in the library, A Chou's writing centers on the "Dread Files" series, with three published titles: Dread Files: Death Loop, Dread Files: Bangkok Lost Souls, and Dread Files: The Fatal Plastic Surgeon. Both the titles and their classification point toward suspense and mystery, with plots often built around bizarre deaths, murders in foreign settings, and medical cosmetic surgery, all bearing a thriller flavor. The author is skilled at using high-concept premises to create tension and at driving the narrative through cases so that readers keep pursuing the truth. Because little personal information has been disclosed, readers know A Chou mainly through the works themselves, and these three titles remain the primary basis for understanding the author's writing style.
