About this ebook
From the author of The Eyes Are the Best Part, praised by The New York Times Book Review as “violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original,” a provocative exposé into the hidden world of spy cameras, sexual shaming, and vengeance pursued with a very sharp kitchen knife.
Molka: an abbreviation of molrae-kamera, a “sneaky camera” hidden to capture covert images and videos for voyeurs.
In an unassuming Seoul workplace, IT technician Junyoung’s network reaches throughout the whole office. Every entrance. Every lobby. Every bathroom. The women in this building may be cold and dismissive, but whenever they disrespect him, he calls up his favorite images and remembers who holds the real power. Until one, Dahye, sets herself apart from the rest.
Dahye, ever the romantic, yearns to be cherished after years of living in the shadow of her perfect older sister, who tragically drowned years ago. Only her boyfriend seems to appreciate Dahye. He’s rich, handsome, famous, and generous—she’d do anything to hold on to the happiness he brings her.
But when a celebrity hidden camera scandal rocks the city, Dahye’s dreams of fairy-tale romance sour into a grotesque nightmare. Her boyfriend abandons her. Her parents reject her. Her dead sister appears as a lank-haired, demon-eyed ghost, desperate to reveal a long-hidden secret. As Junyoung falls into obsession with the troubled Dahye, more and more illusions are stripped away, until Dahye turns to extreme lengths to satisfy her own lust for revenge . . .
From the innovative imagination of rising horror star Monika Kim, Molka is an all-too-real snapshot of surveillance, power, and one woman’s justified rage.
