An arresting literary horror about the consequences of the ongoing Korean War and a young woman's quest to find the truth about her country.
Having grown up in the long shadow of the Korean War, Yewon is stuck in her small village.
She dreams of a hotel, where there are infinite keys to infinite rooms - and a quiet terror she is desperate to escape.
But when her little brother is conscripted into the South Korean army, Yewon's dreams start to seep into her reality, and she is forced to confront the unsettling truth about her country...
Stylish, visceral and haunting, The Invisible Hotel is an unforgettable literary horror about the human consequences of war, and the toll of being born into a conflict that shows no signs of stopping.
