A succession of short horror stories weaved into a meta story about a girl starting work at an institute storing and studying haunted objects. The premise is super cool although the book is rather short so it never goes past using it as a decor and mean to move the stories forward and into one another.

But each story was really fun and cool, short enough that they never overstay their welcome and weird enough that you never know what to expect. Some fall short a bit though but that’s collections for you maybe. It also has a lot of humor and since the author is Korean there’s a lot of cultural tidbits and folkore and so on so it’s also very interesting from that point of view.

Overall a fun and short ride, a bit like a haunted house. The context of the institute reminded me of The Bureau in Control a bit so that was really fun too.
