Monika Kim
Summary
SEOUL, 2022. When her brother vanishes after sending a frantic SOS text, Charlotte Chang races to Seoul in search of answers. Julian worked for Youngcheol Kim, head of a billionaire dynasty hiding deadly secrets behind a perfect façade. According to Kim and his three impossibly perfect daughters, Julian left willingly. Charlotte knows he didn’t.
HANSEONG, 1891. The cherished son of a powerful magistrate is caught in a forbidden love with another young man. His father will go to any length to protect their legacy, and what begins as a punishment quickly spirals into a bloody transformation that will shape their family for generations.
In this gilded, historical thriller, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Monika Kim bridges two rich, riveting timelines, transporting readers from a glittering Manhattan and opulent Seoul to the hushed, suffocating world of 19th-century Korea. What Hungers in the Dark is equal parts haunting and seductive, a lush Korean Gothic filled with blood, obsession, and dark family legacy.

Reviews
"A transcendent talent whose work is both unflinchingly brutal and beautifully cathartic, Monika Kim is an innovator not only in feminist horror, but in all of literature."
—Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice
“The ‘just one more chapter’ page-turner you’ve been searching for. Violent, mad, heartbreaking, hopeful, What Hungers in the Dark is essential reading at its blood-soaked finest.”
—Marcus Kliewer, New York Times bestselling author of We Used to Live Here
“Desperation, mystery, and heartache define the dual timelines in Monika Kim’s excellent, elegant vampire novel. From the politics of survival in 19th century Korea to the predatory nature of celebrity in present day America, Kim delves into family obligation, dangerous romance, and the maddening hunger for human blood. Another triumph for Monika Kim!”
—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Carry Me to My Grave and Road of Bones
"A caution: open this book at your own peril. Once you start reading, you will not be able to stop. Kim’s latest is part-historical epic, part-romance, and one-hundred-percent addictive delight. Consider me a fan of all the Kim girls now."
—Jennifer Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Diavola and Newbourne Park
“What Hungers in the Dark is a gorgeous and profound vampire epic, both sweeping and deeply intimate. Visceral, vicious, and easy to devour. I absolutely loved it.”
—Chuck Tingle, bestselling author of Bury Your Gays
“At once a blood-soaked romp through Korea's recent history and a sleek modern thriller set in today's Seoul. The mystery at its core will keep you turning the pages, but the characters are written with such heart that it makes you wish you could stay with them longer. Surprisingly heartfelt and highly enjoyable.”
—Hildur Knutsdottir, award-winning author of The Night Guest
“Decadently fun and yet surprisingly tender. This is more than just a vampire story; bubbling beneath the surface is a tale of grief, humanity, and connection against all odds. Written with Kim’s signature sharpness, this book will sink its teeth into you and refuse to let you go. I truly devoured this novel.”
