Stellar, tense novella featuring a blend of Korean and Japanese spiritualism - a parasitic spirit responsible for Kim Han-Gil’s mother’s death has been tracked down in Seoul. Han-Gil is now a regular detective, somewhat as cover for his activities as a spirit detective. To defeat this parasitic spirit, Han-Gil has to team up with Shin Yoonhae - whose own exorcism led to Han-Gil losing his mother.
With clear skill, Sam Kyung Yoo has created a fully realized modern and spiritual world with clear rules, unique and diverse characters, and some absolutely heartbreaking emotional scenes. The descriptions of how each character interacts with spirits, souls, demons, and the Otherworldly elements of this world adds both to the uniqueness of this world and to each character’s own personality and history.
I look forward to reading more from Sam Kyung Yoo and hopefully more about Han-Gil the spirit detective.
