We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from Everything Good Dies Here: Tales from the Linker Universe and Beyond, a short story collection by pseudonymous South Korean author Djuna, translated by Adrian Thieret—available now from Kaya Press. The stories brought together in this collection introduce for the first time in English the dazzling speculative imaginings of Djuna, one of South Korea’s most provocative SF writers. Whether describing a future society light years away or satirizing Confucian patriarchy, these stories evoke a universe at once familiar and clearly fantastical. Also collected here for the first time are all six stories set in the Linker Universe, where a mutating virus sends human beings reeling through the galaxy into a dizzying array of fracturing realities. Blending influences ranging from genre fiction (zombie, vampire, SF, you name it) to golden-age cinema to Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Djuna’s stories together form an intertextual, mordantly funny critique of the human condition as it evolves into less and more than what it once was.
