Jihyun Yun: Good Creature, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the USA Today bestselling author of And the River Drags Her Down comes a haunting, eerie gothic tale steeped in Korean folklore. A teen girl who can see the dead accidentally binds herself to a ghost groom and unleashes something far darker onto her college campus.

"Taut and poetic. A terrifying ghost story that will possess you from start to finish. Yun's sinister prose marries the supernatural terror of Korean folklore with modern gothic dread . . . Utterly haunting."---Keala Kendall, New York Times bestselling author of That Which Feeds Us

Dragged under by the Pacific Ocean, she should have never surfaced again. But she did---and she returned with a curse. Ever since that fateful day, Lamb has been able to see the dead as they truly are: some of them whole and peaceful, others vividly gruesome. Haunted, Lamb could no longer be the good, docile daughter her parents expected of her.
Years later, cut off from her family, Lamb is running a covert posthumous marriage scheme that delivers closure to grieving Korean families and easy money into her pocket to pay for college. But when the family of a ghost bride abruptly backs out of a marriage ceremony, Lamb is left without a bride and does the unthinkable, offering her own image to the altar.
Not only does Lamb bind herself to Felix Yoo, the ghost groom, but unbeknownst to her, something else slithers through---a faceless, wretched thing desperate to reach Lamb by any means necessary . . .

"Rich with dark horror and achingly beautiful, it will haunt you."---Melinda Salisbury, author of Local Gods
