A Plagued Sea<\/a><\/em> by Kim Bo-Young, translated from the Korean by Sophie Bowman (Tor Nightfire, August 11)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While waiting for a train to Haewon, an isolated Korean seaside village, bodyguard Mu-young gets a disaster alert on her phone. TVs throughout the station report breaking news of a massive earthquake on the eastern coast. Despite the danger, Mu-young boards the train with her niece: she\u2019d rather face the earthquake than leave the girl in her mother\u2019s care. That choice haunts her for the rest of her life. Three years later, Haewon Village is home to horrors. The earthquake unleashed an ancient plague that transforms its victims into fishy monsters, and the government\u2019s lockdown has cut off any hope for help. Mu-young\u2019s niece is dead, and all that\u2019s left for her is to hunt villagers who break isolation. When an officious bureaucrat from Seoul arrives in the village, he stirs up even deeper trouble. Will Mu-young survive? Does she even deserve to?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
