Small Gods of Calamity by Sam Kyung Yoo
Jul. 24th, 2024 05:37 pmThe novella Small Gods of Calamity by Sam Kyung Yoo was absolutely wonderful! Kim Han-gil investigates a series of deaths in Seoul caused by a spirit worm.
This is my new favourite Asian American story. Most characters are Korean, but there's also a Japanese one and a Chinese one. If you're not familiar with exorcism vocabulary in these languages, you'll have to Google a few words.
Kim Han-gil is bi, ace and takes anti-anxiety meds (when he does fill his prescription...). There is no romance, but I have a ship, so I wouldn't mind if the author decided to write more in this universe. Minor characters include a trans woman and an enby.
