"A haunting portrait of grief and pain and the lengths a mother will go to to protect her child." —Monika Kim, author of Molka and The Eyes Are the Best Part
When a man’s body is discovered in a park outside of Seoul, Detective Noh Jin-seon is called to the scene, but she soon discovers this case is unlike anything she's seen before. The man, who had been accused of stalking and harassing his ex-girlfriend, was killed with startling force, set on fire, and drained of blood. There are no footprints, no murder weapon, and no leads. Weeks later, another man is discovered murdered in the same way.
What follows is a chorus of characters grappling with the emergence of a serial killer. Among them are women haunted by past abuse who become collectively plagued by visceral dreams of vengeance; a female-led police force tasked with solving the perplexing murders; men who fear their own judgement day will come; and, at the center, Geum-hong, a mother reeling from the loss of her only daughter, brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Her daughter is gone and the trial has passed, but her rage remains, simmering and threatening to consume her...
A brisk, lacerating exploration of power, privilege, and the pursuit of justice—and a foray into the dark underbelly of gender-based violence in Korea—Mothersucker reveals just how far a woman will go to avenge the ones she loves.

"Mothersucker is a highly unique work of fiction, and yet the stories of gender-based violence are all too real and familiar. I was immediately sucked into the story (no pun intended). I had no other choice but to furiously gorge every word until I reached the end. Rapists, stalkers, murderers and wife beaters are found burnt to death, the killer leaves no trace whatsoever, and every time the sun comes up there is one less evil in the world. The mere thought of it was comforting. It was… nice. Mothersucker was a hard and breathless read but I kept thinking… yeah, this is nice. This is right." —Bora Chung, author of Cursed Bunny and The Midnight Table
