"The perfect mix of horror and heart." —Kylie Lee Baker, author of Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
"Cho Yeeun is amazing. Insanely amazing." ―Bora Chung, author of The Midnight Timetable

A young woman and a possessed teddy bear set out on a revenge quest unlike any other in this stylish slasher from Cho Yeeun, a rising star in Korean horror.

When the fledgling coastal town of Yamu is rocked by a mass-poisoning attack at the Seaview Parc, a luxury high-rise apartment, Hwayoung is one of many who lost family members. Except, she has never believed that her mother was poisoned.

Now, fueled by grief and a desire for revenge, Hwayoung spends her time hustling to save every penny and bring those responsible to justice. Across town, Doha wakes up in a teddy bear and realizes something sinister has taken his body.

When fate brings Hwayoung and Doha together, the two team up for a revenge quest that will shake the city's shiny fa�ade to its rotten core.

This time, revenge is not just personal—it's supernatural.

Her English-language debut, New Seoul Park Jelly Vendor Massacre (Honford Star, 2024) cemented her reputation as a bold and daring voice in horror.
