About this audiobook

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.
