THE NEW NOVEL BY THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART

molka (n): the Korean term for spy cameras secretly and illegally installed, often to capture voyeuristic images and videos

Dahye can't believe her luck when she finds herself in a whirlwind romance with handsome, charismatic Hyukjoon, the heir to a multi-million dollar fortune.

But then a shocking revelation threatens everything: the couple has been caught on a spycam amid Korea's growing molka epidemic, and the video is all over the internet. When Hyukjoon flees the country to avoid the intense public scrutiny, Dahye is left to grapple with the ramifications on her own; and the demons from her childhood, long dormant, begin to surface.

Amid the chaos, she catches the attention of Junyoung, a nerdy, introverted IT tech at work. Junyoung harbors a dark secret: he has been spying on the women at work with his own hidden cameras. As Dahye's life begins to unravel, she unknowingly becomes the sole target of Junyoung's perverse obsession.

When the facts surrounding the invasion of her privacy come to light, Dahye is faced with the humiliating truth. Her pain and hurt turn to rage as she faces her past. Her desire for vengeance is insatiable, and she will not rest until the men who have wronged her have paid in blood...

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Monika Kim is one of the best of horror's new wave. Molka is desperate, brutal, and heart-wrenching, filled with horrors both human and supernatural. A vengeance-fueled must-read from the brilliant author of The Eyes are the Best Part!' (Christopher Golden)

'Molka is a harrowing, ghastly, page-turning revenge tale that unflinchingly shines a bright light on the evil of an all-too-real, misogynistic, uniquely 21st century horror.' (Paul Tremblay)

'Violent, shocking, and utterly transfixing, Monika Kim returns with a skin-crawling and layered novel examining voyeurism, grief, misogyny, and female rage. Every bit as gruesome and captivating as her debut, Molka is a must read for horror fans who love seeing female revenge served searing and bloody.' (Liann Zhang)

'As brilliant as it is provocative, perverse, and deeply unsettling, Molka is the novel I've been waiting for...A rage-soaked interrogation of power that finally confronts our twinned cultures of surveillance and shame-I couldn't put it down. No one writes the monstrosities of man like Monika Kim, and even though this book lays bare the devastating consequences of nonconsensual voyeurism, I wouldn't hesitate to peek into Kim's brain.' (Ling Ling Huang)

'With razor-sharp effectiveness, Monika Kim rouses the rage of being driven to madness by someone who then blames you for being mad, the heartache of learning that the person you love doesn't even like you, and the dehumanization felt by women reduced to objects by men who ruthlessly collect and consume. A story of betrayal and ghosts, Molka is a masterful work of horror that's sure to be ranked as one of the year's best.' (Nick Medina)

'Razor-sharp, dripping with social commentary, and impossible to put down: with Molka, Monika Kim once again raises the bar for horror fiction. I can't wait to see this book get all the hype it deserves.' (Johanna van Veen)

'Brilliant with addictive prose and a knife-sharp message, this story is so full of cathartic feminine rage and I loved every second of it. Monika Kim's work has swiftly become a must-read for me.' (CG Drews)

'By turns eerie and disquieting, sad and affecting, bloody and demented, this feminist fable flays open the rotten heart of South Korea's patriarchal and economically unequal society. Monika Kim's crisp prose and careful plotting delights and disgusts. I couldn't put Molka down.' (Ariel Courage)

'Brutal and unflinching, Molka is a wild ride through a world of dark obsession, drowned ghosts, and long-overdue revenge. You won't be able to look away as this book cuts you to pieces.' (Kylie Lee Baker)
