Beschreibung

Amidst its many locked doors and strange disappearances, the senior night guard of a mysterious research centre slowly reveals one ghost story after another to our unnamed protagonist, who comes to realize that the building houses an untold number of cursed objects - objects that enact revenge, teach lessons and push people to change their lives, or to the brink of insanity. Unlike Chung's acclaimed short story collection Cursed Bunny and the highly anticipated collection Your Utopia, these linked stories take the shape of a novel, the haunting vignettes like a series of interconnected nightmares.
