Bora Chung's Midnight Timetable is a collection of interconnected ghost stories that blur the boundaries between the living and the dead, the past and present. Through haunting narratives rooted in Korean folklore and contemporary life, Chung explores themes of memory, loss, and the unresolved traumas that linger like spirits. The novel becomes a meditation on how the past refuses to stay buried, and how ghosts are often the stories we can't stop telling ourselves.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Chung understands that ghost stories are never really about ghosts, they're about the weight of what we can't let go. These stories prove that the most haunting presences are the ones we carry inside ourselves.
