Description
A retired serial killer with dementia keeps a private record of his past while an unsettling new threat emerges in his community. As his memory falters, he must navigate guilt, obsession, and the thin line between confession and self-preservation—trying to determine who he should stop, and whether he can trust the story he’s telling himself. Blending dark psychological tension with sharply observed human frailty, these interconnected tales explore violence, identity, and the unreliability of perception. With Kim Young-ha’s distinctive, darkly inventive storytelling and keen social insight, this collection turns the act of narration into a suspenseful moral puzzle—one that lingers long after the final page.
