Description 작품 소개

From the author of Cursed Bunny, this literary, emotional horror story shows a world of victims that were mostly neglected in real world and takes them to a world of consolation.


"Beautiful, earie stories that are unpredictable sprawl endlessly." - Kang Hwa-gil, author of Another Person

"The keen insights into a society and the non-stop pacing of the folk tales kept me on the edge of my seat." - Kim Bo-Young, author of National Book Award longlisted On the Origin of Species and Other Stories


I, the protagonist, am a night guard at a mysterious research institute located in the middle of nowhere. The institute has many
different rooms, where each room houses a haunted object. My job is to walk those halls at night according to the midnight timetable and check if the doors are all locked. My senior colleague, who has been here much longer, tells me stories about the institute, its history, and the objects. On one of the boring shifts, I asked her “Hey, have you ever gone through weird stuff here?” And then, she shares a slightly unusual safety tip as if she's been waiting to tell me. Along with all the sad, bizarre, horrific things that happened to the objects and the people who work here.

This novel in stories follows the protagonist as she gets to know more about the objects or the staff, showing they ended up in this place and how they were wounded or even killed by the family, the society or the system. All these stories are horror on their own term, but what remains after reading this novel will be consolation and salvation.
