This particular tale is set in South Korea, and I enjoyed the snippets it provided in regard to culture and setting.
I think that it’s the first horror story I’ve read about Asian characters I’m aware of quite a few Asian horror films, but can’t say that I’ve been exposed to many of these stories within literature before. Reading this book was a new experience to me in several ways. It’s one of the things that first caught my interest, aside from the eye-catching cover art. When it comes to vampire stories, BUTCHERS has a unique premise. Will she side with rebellious conspirators who strive to bring hell to the world? Or will she carve out her own path through the flesh and bone of anyone who stands in her way? Find out in Butchers, a novella of extreme horror. Hyeri has a plan - one that might just burn the Gwanlyo to the ground.Will Sey-Mi place her loyalties in the Gwanlyo that rules through terror?
She doesn't intend to go in unarmed, however. Hyeri, who is no stranger to the organization's wicked methods of agonizing punishment, is hell-bent on bringing them down, and is prepared to lead Cheol Yu through the dark, abandoned streets of the Gwanlyo's compound where Sey-Mi is being held captive.
Before they can do that, they will have to dodge the Natural Police, an order within the Gwanlyo whose objective is to hunt down and butcher any vampires that break the organization's strict rules, and who are currently tracking Cheol Yu for murdering one of their own. Their first act of rebellion is to persuade Sey-Mi to join them in their twisted objective of unraveling this draconian society of the dead. Her captors, beautiful and malignant, cruel and insane, torture her until she pledges allegiance to the Gwanlyo, a secret organization of vampires now obsessed with bringing her into their ranks.Įnter Cheol Yu and Hyeri, rogue members who want to liberate vampires and set them upon humankind like a plague. Kidnapped, turned, and locked away in a concrete basement, high school student Sey-Mi is taught the ways of the damned.
