The translation from Korean to English is a bit off at times. However, that does not dim the bizarre beauty of this collection.

Honestly this collection of stories was so good, I absolutely loved how well written/translated it was. I loved how I was able to release almost every emotion while reading this, I love how it makes you think and imagine things you never thought you would. 

This book has made me become a fan of dark fantasy realism  short stories. I fell in love with this book as soon as I read the first line of the first story ‘The Head’.
