There's an ugly voice inside my head. It's not real, it hisses. None of this is. Just kill him. Taste his eyes.
I want to. More than anything. So what if it's real?

My Sister, the Serial Killer meets Boy Parts, this literary feminist howl-of-a-debut is going to crawl right under your skin...

Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped her family to shreds, leaving her to piece their jumbled lives back together.

To top it off, her mother's obnoxious new white boyfriend enters the scene bragging about his flawed knowledge of Korean Culture, causing Ji-won's hold over her emotions to become strained. As he gawks at her and her sister around their claustrophobic apartment, Ji-won becomes more and more obsessed with his brilliant blue eyeballs.

As her fixation and rage grow, Ji-won decides that she must do the one thing that will save her family... and also curb her cravings.
