Bora Chung - "Midnight Timetable"

Good book with ghost stories ("best stories to write if you have a writer block", according to the author)

Semi-short stories (20-40 pages each) with soft interlocking motives/objects, about a woman taking the night shift in a research hotel where haunted objects are kept.

Probably the one about the streamer who is almost killing himself when he stole a haunted tennis shoe, is one of the best.

 

 

I stare at the house that had swallowed teh man's body and the shadows inside it. The dead man's guilt turns the lights off and brings forth the shadow of the dead woman, who is long gone. The dead man's fear rejects the darkeness and turns on the lights of the house again. The dead man's guilt brings forth the shadow of the dead child, and the dead man's fear once again turns off the lights. This is all that is left tot he dead man. Guilt, and fear. The lights switch on. The lights switch off.

Bora Chung - "Cursed Bunny"

Interested short stories from Korean writer. Leaves a lot open / to the imagination.

Favourite was probable "the cold finger", of a woman in a car crash, led astray by a ghost.
