The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre

From Cho Yeeun, one of Korea’s buzziest horror authors, comes New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre, a spine-chilling and intricately woven horror story about our selfish desires and why you should never take candy from strangers.

At New Seoul Park, Korea’s greatest theme park, families stroll together hand in hand, couples share ice cream, and costumed staff dances around visitors handing out colorful balloons. But amid this revelry an enigmatic vendor watches, seemingly peering into the guests’ very souls before tempting them with a mysterious jelly candy and promising an unbreakable bond with their loved ones. 

As the sun beats down on a muggy summer afternoon, a child separated from her disinterested parents, a single mother striving to create a memorable day on a shoestring budget, and a couple on the brink of splitting up, all accept this vendor’s harmless offer of a comforting treat. Soon, the sweet and innocent soon turns grotesque as the jelly becomes the catalyst for a sticky, sweet massacre.
