"“어디 있을까, 우리 지우?”
커튼을 향해 천천히 다가가며 명혜는 짐짓 모른 체 이야기했다. 키득키득. 커튼 안에서 또다시 숨죽인 웃음이 들렸다.
명혜는 빙그레 웃으며 커튼을 확 젖혔다. “찾았다!”
아무도 없었다. 지우는커녕 사람의 흔적이라고는 보이지 않았다. 분명 커튼 아래로 작은 발이 나와 있었는데……."
Fun, creepy story split into 3 different POVs. I usually dislike changing POVs, but I actually liked each one. Not that I thought what the characters did made sense exactly, but who knows what the correct protocol is when you move into a haunted house....
Includes some randomly difficult vocab about like ghosts or religion I guess, but overall the story was easy to follow. I'm not going to lie, I literally had a bad dream about one of the scenes in this book lol so I had to stop reading it before bed...BUT it's not quite 'scary', but more has creepy vibes for sure.

If you enjoy Stephen King novels or movies like The Others you'll like this.
A supernatural thriller in which a family in a bad situation move to a house in the countryside for a fresh start. But something isn't right in the house and strange things start happening from the moment they move in.
This book is laid out in 3 long chapters, one POV per chapter. Outside of some supernatural vocab like 귀신, 원귀, 부적 etc the vocab is quite high frequency. Mostly describing the house and the family activites as they settle into their new home.
The hardest language sections were when the Buddist priest was explaining how to expel evil spirits. He spoke in satoori and was using a lot of esoteric vocab but since it's describing fictional exorcisms the reader doesn't really miss much if they don't get all the specifics of this bit.
Overall a fun fast-paced read. It also has a (not greatly reviewed) movie adaptation apparently.
