Diary of a Murderer

by Young-ha Kim
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
This collection from the acclaimed South Korean author is "filled with the kind of sublime, galvanizing stories that strike like a lightning bolt" (Nylon).
 
Diary of a Murderer captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge—between life and death, good and evil. In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he suspects is also a serial killer.
In other stories we witness an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family's disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at the expense of everything else. From "one of South Korea's best and most worldly writers" (NPR), Diary of a Murderer is a chillingly entertaining ride.
 
"Kim is expert at finding the humanity inside the other, the comedy inside the tragedy, and the twisted within the seemingly normal." —CrimeReads
