"A tense, harrowing nightmare of a novel. Monika Kim gives us unraveling sanity, grotesque obsession, and the suffocating ignorance of toxic men. A terrific debut! I can't wait to see what she does next!" -- Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Last Resort and Road of Bones "An immersive tumble into darkness. Monika Kim has crafted a terrifying examination of the malevolence of bigotry and misogyny along with an unforgettable heroine. I couldn't stop reading."-- Kristi DeMeester , author of Such a Pretty Smile " The Eyes Are the Best Part is a suspenseful ride, cranking up the tension as Ji-won takes ever greater risks to satisfy her cravings. Bloody, angry, and vengeful, it skewers expectations at every turn." --Kerstin Hall , author of Star Eater, Praise for The Eyes Are the Best Part "A tense, harrowing nightmare of a novel. Monika Kim gives us unraveling sanity, grotesque obsession, and the suffocating ignorance of toxic men. A terrific debut! I can't wait to see what she does next!" --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Last Resort and Road of Bones "Obsessive, grotesque, and never predictable, this is a horror debut to sink your teeth into." --emily m. danforth , bestselling author of Plain Bad Heroines "A book that does more than grab hold; this debut will impale you. An obsessive, undefinable wonder, Monika Kim shows that you only taste what you're willing to take. Suspenseful horror that is love at first sight." --Hailey Piper , Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth "Visceral, disgusting, glorious. I loved this book and every character in it. Monika Kim's sentences are superb, and I was riveted and nauseated from the very first page. Keep your eyeballs fixed on Kim, she's without a doubt one to watch!" --CJ Leede , author of Maeve Fly "I savored every moment of this suspensefully deranged tale, all the way up to its bloodcurdling conclusion. Monika Kim is an exciting new entrant to the genre, and I am ravenous for what she's planning to serve up next." --Victor Manibo , author of The Sleepless and Escape Velocity "A deliciously disturbing dive into a mind warped by pain, anger, and a most unusual craving." --Johnny Compton , author of The Spite House "The Eyes Are the Best Part is part fever dream, part downwards spiral that masterfully explores the pressures of being an elder sibling, the turbulence and pain of fractured families, race and misogyny, and immigration. It tackles the most difficult parts of trauma and Asian womanhood through a narrative that is messy, complicated, and above all, gut wrenching. Kim has written a character who readers will love, hate, and will want to hug tight and never let go." --Ai Jiang , Nebula finalist and author of Linghun and I Am AI " The Eyes Are the Best Part is a suspenseful ride, cranking up the tension as Ji-won takes ever greater risks to satisfy her cravings.

Synopsis
"Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it's like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil." -- New York Times Book Review A TIME MAGAZINE 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024 Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this feminist psychological horror about the making of a female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective. Ji-won's life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa's extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing. In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George's, who is Umma's obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family's claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma's fawning adoration. No, George doesn't deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that. For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won's hunger and her rage deserve to be sated. A brilliantly inventive, subversive novel about a young woman unraveling, Monika Kim's The Eyes Are the Best Part is a story of a family falling apart and trying to find their way back to each other, marking a bold new voice in horror that will leave readers mesmerized and craving more., "Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it's like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil." -- New York Times Book Review * TIME MAGAZINE 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024 * BRAM STOKER AWARD FINALIST * SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD FINALIST * Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this feminist psychological horror about the making of a female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective.
