Udah dari lama banget penasaran sama buku ini. Apalagi tiap baca review selalu dibikin deg-degan karena se-KACAU apa sih Si Kepala?
Alhasil setelah dapat kesempatan untuk pinjam buku ini di Perpustakaan Cikini, aku bawa pulang, dan kumulai baca di perjalanan pulang. Perjalananku yang ditemani Si Kepala itu bikin aku merinding dan nahan mual. Gila deh imajinasi Bora jakka-nim!
Karena kebetulan aku baca yang versi terjemahan bahasa Indonesia, aku jadi penasaran sama versi Englishnya. Siap merinding!

The stories are really well written with interesting premises. Some are just emotionally draining.

Chung has the ability to leave you speechless and questioning why you picked up the book in the first place. I was enamored by Chung’s descriptive writing style from the very first story. If you enjoy horror, speculative fiction, and fairytales, then you’re in the right place, since this book is truly a mixture of all of these.
I chose this for #TheDiverseBaseline May Prompt A: A book by an East Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander author.
