Critics Review
”[An] enticingly strange and diverting work of horror…This is good fun.“–Publishers Weekly
Praise for Teddy Bears Never Die
“Cho Yeeun masterfully pulls off this delightfully campy premise with both earnestness and wit. The perfect mix of horror and heart.” ―Kylie Lee Baker, author of Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
“Part buddy heist flick, part supernatural slasher revenge, Teddy Bears Never Die is a grotesque, hilarious, and heart-felt romp that will make you believe anything is possible with the power of friendship and extreme violence!” ―Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow
“Witty, gritty, and full of twists. Teddy Bears Never Die is a ghostly grungy vision, weaving together a harsh city of insidious choices, torn-apart lives, and love that demands bloodshed.” ―Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Teenage Girls Can Be Demons
“Cho Yeeun’s ability to balance sheer bloody wackiness with genuinely touching moments of friendship against all odds is absolutely singular.” ―Megan Bontrager, author of The Sea Hides Its Dead
“Prepare to encounter startling originality and an unraveling plot that runs deep into the dark and sacred myths of family, power and justice. I’ll never stop talking about this book!” ―Sarah G. Pierce, author of For Human Use
“Cho Yeeun is amazing. Insanely amazing.” ―Bora Chung, author of The Midnight Timetable
“Suspenseful, scary, and dizzyingly fun.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“This story defies simple genre categorizations. Cho throws blood-soaked crime thrillers, magical realism, and even teen romance into a blender set on high, creating a gory but fun, action-fueled cocktail.” ―Booklist
“A poignant meditation on the longing for connection lurks behind the campy horrors of a summer amusement park. These intertwined narratives balance the playful and sinister with sticky aplomb. A treat of sugar-coated unease.” –E. L. Chen, USA Today bestselling author of Slasher Summer
“Deceptively sweet and yet also somehow utterly horrific, The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre drips, oozes with such cheerful menace and disorienting weirdness. Inarguably the most delightfully unhinged and ‘what the fuck?’ novel you’ll read this year.” –Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
