The Black Orb<\/a><\/em> by Ewhan Kim, translated from the Korean by Sean Lin Halbert (MIRA, February 4).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object was a black orb, roughly two meters in diameter. Despite its large size, it made no sound as it moved. Although it wasn\u2019t chasing Jeong-su fast enough to catch him, it was unrelenting and persistent in its pursuit\u2026One evening in downtown Seoul, Jeong-su is smoking a cigarette outside when he sees something impossible: a huge black orb appears out of nowhere and sucks his neighbor inside. Jeong-su manages to get away, but the terrifying sphere can move through walls, so he\u2019s sure he won\u2019t be able to hide for long. The orb soon begins consuming every person caught in its path, and no one knows how to stop it. Impervious to bullets and tanks, the orb splits and multiplies, chasing the hapless residents of Seoul out into the country and sparking a global crisis with widespread violence and looting. Jeong-su must rely on his wits as he makes the arduous journey in search of his elderly parents. But the strangest phases of this ever-expanding disaster are yet to come and Jeong-su will be forced to question everything he has taken for granted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
