About This Book
Seong Hae Na, the author who captured the hearts of 400,000 readers with Honmono and established herself as one of the most compelling names in the Korean literary scene, returns in June 2026 with her first collection of mystery tales, Inbiin. Praised for opening a new chapter of realism for the next generation through her clean, profound prose, meticulous research, timely themes, and historical consciousness, the author now borrows the genre of 'strange tales' (Gidam) to unfold a world of nine stories that are even more bizarre and chilling.
Seong Hae Na’s fiction always leaves a captivating yet subtly uncomfortable aftertaste. Her stories quietly shake the very foundations of the daily lives we believed were safe, lifting the underside of things we deemed harmless to expose their hidden, raw realities right onto the reader's palm.
The title 'Inbiin (人非人)' refers to "beings that possess a human form but are not human, or those who ought to be human but have willingly ceased to be so." Standing on the precarious boundary between the human and the non-human, the author draws up the portraits of these fragile existences across three axes of time: 'Yesterday,' 'Today,' and 'Tomorrow.'
