Critics Review
Cho Yeeun masterfully pulls off this delightfully campy premise with both earnestness and wit. This is 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 *
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 *
A savagely entertaining revenge tale that charges forward on a knife’s edge, Teddy Bears Never Die pairs brutal social satire with a charming yet tragic supernatural companion. Elevated by Sung Ryu’s sure-footed translation, Cho Yeeun infuses her signature dark, grotesque imagination into Korea’s sense of han to tell a story about violence that festers under unresolved injustice. * Jinwoo Park, author of OXFORD SOJU CLUB *
This book made sense to me. It feels really weird to say this but in an extremely unhinged way, everything made sense. I know this world. Some of it is actually bits and pieces of my own life and the rest is everything I’ve only dreamed of. Cho Yeeun is amazing. Insanely amazing. I hope she’d kill them all. Literally and figuratively. Mostly literally. * Bora Chung, author of THE MIDNIGHT TIMETABLE *
Teddy Bears Never Die is the epitome of Cho Yeeun’s hallmark style of combining fantastical genre-based storytelling with keen insight into contemporary social issues, aided this time by Sung Ryu, the finest Korean translator in the world. * Anton Hur, author of TOWARD ETERNITY *
