To the Kennels: And Other Stories by Pyun Hye-young
fast-paced
This is the first I’ve read of the author’s short stories. They’re weird, at times unsettling and mildly suspenseful. They circle around particular characters who’ve found themselves in absurd, inexplicably strange circumstances and the stories each delve into the human condition.
I liked the stories overall, especially the titular story which was the most thrilling and unsettling of the collection.I also enjoyed Friday hello, Lost and Found and the Night Work
The stories delve into the human condition and experience with Kafkaesque elements throughout and the unexplained oddities made them so enjoyable to read.
I did feel that the stories were not as scary or eerie as I had expected and that there was room to go darker, scarier, more nightmarish.
