📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A man inherits haunted land and builds a cafe where food rots and ghosts appear.

This work focuses on the psychological toll of receiving unexpected property after a family tragedy. Hyeon Yeong’s attempt to rebuild his life through commerce is thwarted by phenomena that suggest the land itself is resisting his presence. The horror emerges from the domestic sphere, affecting his marriage and his sanity. The text connects contemporary anxieties about economic instability with historical grievances from the colonial period. It is not a tale of simple revenge but a complex look at how guilt is inherited alongside land.

📝 Description: Get Out of Here

Jin Yeong Kim returns with a horror narrative that examines the weight of inheritance and the ghosts of land ownership. The story follows Hyeon Yeong, a man in his forties who faces unemployment and subsequently receives secret news about his late brother’s property. He decides to construct a seaside cafe on this inherited land, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, the environment turns hostile. Food spoils overnight without explanation. His wife begins to see a white-faced figure dressed in Japanese attire, blurring the line between grief and supernatural terror. The novel spans from the Japanese colonial era to the present day, using the setting of the cafe to anchor its themes of guilt and obsession. Kim draws on the tension between past trauma and modern survival. The narrative does not rely on jump scares but rather on the slow decay of reality. It suits readers who enjoy psychological horror rooted in historical context and family dynamics. Those seeking fast-paced action or traditional ghost stories may find the pacing too deliberate. The book is a study of how land holds memory and how that memory can consume the living.
