Midnight Timetable

"Beautiful, eerie stories that are unpredictable and sprawl endlessly."

"The keen insights into a society and the nonstop pacing of the folk tales kept me on the edge of my seat.”

Praise for Bora Chung and Anton Hur: 

"Bora Chung's Cursed Bunny mines those places where what we fear is true and what is true meet and separate and re-meet. The resulting stories are indelible. Haunting, funny, gross, terrifying—and yet when we reach the end, we just want more." B>Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel

“If you were the kind of child who was enthralled by Scary Stories to Read in the Dark, Bora Chung writes for you. Like the work of Carmen Maria Machado and Aoko Matsuda, Chung’s stories are so wonderfully, blisteringly strange and powerful that it's almost impossible to put Cursed Bunny down. In short, this collection may, in fact, be a cursed object in the best possible way.” B>Kelly Link, bestselling author of Get In Trouble

“Disturbing, chilling, wrenching, and absolute genius. I wanted Chung to write a story about a reader getting a deep look inside her fantastic swirling mind. I had to take breaks and gulps of air before plunging back into each story. Magnetic, eerie, immensely important.” B>Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face
 
"Anton Hur’s nimble translation manages to capture the tricky magic of Chung’s voice — its wry humor and overarching coolness broken by sudden, thrilling dips into passages of vivid description. Even as Chung presents a catalog of grotesqueries that range from unsettling to seared-into-the-brain disturbing, her power is in restraint.” B>Violet Kupersmith, The New York Times Book Review

“[These] stories are beyond imagination: breathtaking, wild, crazy, the most original fiction I have ever encountered. …each more astounding than the last.” B>Louisa Ermelino, Publishers Weekly

"Chung builds out her stories with imagination, absurdity and a dry sense of humor, all applied with X-Acto knife precision, but what stands out about her fantastical tales is not how different they are from one another so much as how much remains the same.” ―Alexandra Kleeman, The New York Times Book Review
 
"Cool, brilliantly demented K-horror—just the way I like it!" /I>Ed Park, author of Personal Days
