5.0
Bora Chung’s work never ceases to make me an emotional mess.
I would give this book extra stars if I could. Chung’s second horror anthology translated into English, it lived up to and even exceeded her first. Some of the stories made me laugh, some gave me chills, and a few made me cry.
I read this book on a two hour train ride, and I’m sure the poor office worker next to me watched me have every human emotional possible.
Without spoiling, the standouts from this anthology were To Meet Her, A Song For Sleep, and The End of the Voyage. With a honorary mention to A Very Ordinary Marriage. These four gave the most emotional reaction to me, though all of the short stories were beautifully written.
I would highly recommend this and Bora Chung’s other work to horror lovers.
