Strange short stories, written in Korean and translated into English. There is something off-kilter in each story which surprises and delights. “The Embodiment” was probably the weirdest. “Snare” was probably the saddest. “The Head” was definitely the grossest. I felt my horizons actively expanding as I read and listened to these intricately crafted stories.

What the actual fuck did I just read?? That was the weirdest mix of boring, entertaining and depressing feralness I’ve ever read. 8/10.

Some funky short stories for fans of Her Body & Other Parties or Kelly Link. Lots of monsters and things that go bump in the night
