Voce Books (Club): The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre

Join us for the first VOCE BOOKS (CLUB) session of the Autumn where we’ll be getting well & truly stuck into another sweet new novel in translation:

THE NEW SEOUL PARK JELLY MASSACRE

By CHO YEEUN

Translated from the Korean by YEWON JUNG

Published by HONFORD STAR

At New Seoul Park, Korea’s greatest theme park, an enigmatic man tempts visitors with a mysterious jelly candy that promises an unbreakable bond. As the sun beats down on a muggy summer afternoon, a child separated from her disinterested parents, a single mother striving to create a memorable day on a shoestring budget, & a couple on the brink of splitting up, all end up tasting this ominous candy. Little do they know that a sinister force lurks beneath the innocent facade. The sweet & innocent soon turns grotesque as the jelly becomes the catalyst for a sticky, sweet massacre.

Masterfully translated by Yewon Jung, THE NEW SEOUL PARK JELLY MASSACRE weaves a chilling tale of deceptive sweetness & the body horror of slowly melting into your loved ones.
