""The Black Orb is a movie playing on paper. The orb in this book absorbs people, and this book absorbs your time. It's a powerful pageturner."" --Soyoung Park, New York Times bestselling author of Snowglobe ""Ewhan Kim depicts human anxiety and survival instincts in the face of overwhelming fear. The sense of urgency of being chased by a two-meter-diameter black orb that absorbs people captivates you until the last page. A fast-paced, gripping, brilliant book with an accurate insight into this time filled with confusion."" --J.M. Lee, author of The Investigation and Broken Summer ""This heart-pounding novel explores an ordinary person's anxiety and primal fear of being chased for no reason! Feeling as if you're the terrified protagonist yourself, you just can't put down this gripping novel!"" --Kyung-Sook Shin, New York Times bestselling author of Please Look After Mom and Violets ""Stealthy, unflinching and flush with ideas, The Black Orb is a dark propulsive nightmare that had me gripped from page one. Ewhan Kim is a brilliant writer and this is a really welcome translation. I loved it."" --Tom Watson, author of Metronome ""Ewhan Kim pulls off the most unlikely feat: a high-paced thriller set at walking speed. The Black Orb is a Kafkaesque page-turner that will check all your horror, thriller, and sci-fi boxes at once, with an ending that rocks. Never before have I finished a novel, and immediately turned back to reread the first chapter in such a new light. The Black Orb is totally inventive and wholly scary, igniting the slow-burning nightmare that haunts us all: the fear of those things from which we can never outrun."" --Nick Fuller Googins, author of The Great Transition ""The Black Orb is a wild ride. Surprising, thought-provoking, and entertainingly bleak. It's immediately apocalyptic, fast-paced, and filled with intriguing explorations of paranoia, misinformation, togetherness, and societal rage. Be careful, or this novel might swallow you whole!"" --Sam Rebelein, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Edenville and The Poorly Made and Other Things
