When her unscrupulous landlord convinces her to be bait for one of his electronics scams, Hwa-young finds herself trapped in a seedy motel with a strange man. Realizing her life is in danger, Hwa-young tries to escape but finds herself overpowered until an unlikely hero saves her. A hatchet-wielding Happy Smile bear. Hwa-young and teddy bear, who is possessed by the spirit of a murdered boy, team up for a revenge quest unlike any other."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Cho Yeeun has enthralled the Korean literary scene since her notable debut clinching the Kyobo Book Award with her first novel. Since, Cho has become known for weaving chilling, genre-bending stories set in dystopian worlds teetering on the edge of collapse. Young female readers have particularly connected with her stories, enthusiastically immersing themselves in what they've dubbed "Yeeun's World" and celebrating her complex, unconventional female characters. Cho's standout short story collection, Cocktails, Love, Zombies not only soared in sales, exceeding 100,000 copies since its 2020 release but also crossed borders, being exported to Japan, China and Taiwan. Her English-language debut, New Seoul Park Jelly Vendor Massacre (Honford Star, 2024) cemented her reputation as a bold and daring voice in horror.
