About the Author

Cho Yeeun has enthralled the Korean literary scene since her notable debut clinched the Kyobo Book Award. Now, Cho has become known for weaving chilling, genre-bending stories set in dystopian worlds teetering on the edge of collapse. Young female readers have particularly connected with her stories, enthusiastically immersing themselves in what they've dubbed "Yeeun's World" and celebrating her complex, unconventional female characters. Cho's standout short story collection, Cocktails, Love, Zombies not only soared in sales, exceeding 100,000 copies since its 2020 release but also crossed borders, being exported to Japan, China and Taiwan. Her English-language debut, New Seoul Park Jelly Vendor Massacre (Honford Star, 2024) cemented her reputation as a bold and daring voice in horror.
