The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre

About

At Korea's greatest theme park, an enigmatic man offers visitors a mysterious jelly candy that promises an unbreakable bond. On a sweltering summer afternoon, the people who accept — a child separated from indifferent parents, a couple whose relationship is fracturing, a worker hiding a secret — discover that the candy delivers on its promise in ways they never anticipated. Cho Yeeun's novel uses the theme park as a pressure cooker: a place designed for happiness that becomes the setting for something much darker, where each character's private desperation meets a supernatural offer too good to refuse. A horror novel disguised as a summer outing — about what people will swallow when they're desperate enough to believe in magic.
