The Vibe

Ten stories where capitalism, patriarchy, and the body collide in surreal horror. A head growing from a toilet. A cursed family heirloom that oozes. A fox bride whose human husband can't stop her transformation. Chung writes Korean horror fables that are funny, disgusting, and devastatingly political. International Booker shortlisted.
