Synopsis "The Eyes Are the Best Part: Deluxe Limited Edition"

Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this feminist psychological horror about the making of a female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective.

**DELUXE LIMITED EDITION PAPERBACK featuring stenciled edges, full color quote page, and an excerpt from MOLKA!**

“Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it’s like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil.” —New York Times Book Review

* TIME MAGAZINE 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024 * BRAM STOKER AWARD WINNER * SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD FINALIST *

Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing.

In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Mouthwatering blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescendingly toward Ji-won and her sister, as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. But George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.

No matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.

"I was enticed from the first line and entertained throughout. The Eyes Are the Best Part is a quirky, engaging read."—Oyinkan Brainthwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer

Monika Kim es una escritora coreano-estadounidense contemporánea, licenciada en Comunicación por la Universidad de California-Davis y residente en Los Ángeles. Antes de su incursión literaria, ha desarrollado su carrera profesional en el ámbito medioambiental, lo que contrasta con el tono oscuro y visceral de su narrativa. Su debut, Los ojos son la mejor parte (2025), la posiciona rápidamente como una voz emergente dentro del thriller psicológico y el terror contemporáneo.

La novela combina crítica social, horror corporal y tensiones familiares, siguiendo a una joven atrapada en un entorno opresivo que deriva hacia una obsesión perturbadora. La obra ha sido destacada por medios como TIME y The New York Times como una de las más relevantes del año, consolidando a Kim como una autora a seguir. Su estilo se caracteriza por una prosa directa, inquietante y sensorial, donde lo cotidiano se deforma hasta volverse profundamente incómodo —y ahí está precisamente su gracia.
