Horror Book Club Meetup at Cat Cafe

Welcome to the Spooky Spooky Book Club!
Since everyone REALLY liked The Eyes are the Best part by Monika Kim, I decided it'd be nice to read her new book when it releases next year. It's supposed to release April 28th, 2026, so June gives those who want to read it enough time to get a copy and read it. I'm personally very excited about the premise!

Book talk is free! Cat cuddles cost extra ($15 for the cat room).

RSVP'ing here for 5PM ahead of time is highly recommended for the cat room, as space is limited.

Book of the Month: Molka by Monika Kim.

Book Summary
Molka: an abbreviation of molrae-kamera, a “sneaky camera” hidden to capture covert images and videos for voyeurs.

In an unassuming Seoul workplace, IT technician Junyoung’s network reaches throughout the whole office. Every entrance. Every lobby. Every bathroom. The women in this building may be cold and dismissive, but whenever they disrespect him, he calls up his favorite images and remembers who holds the real power. Until one, Dahye, sets herself apart from the rest.

Dahye, ever the romantic, yearns to be cherished after years of living in the shadow of her perfect older sister, who tragically drowned years ago. Only her boyfriend seems to appreciate Dahye. He’s rich, handsome, famous, and generous—she’d do anything to hold on to the happiness he brings her.

But when a celebrity hidden camera scandal rocks the city, Dahye’s dreams of fairy-tale romance sour into a grotesque nightmare. Her boyfriend abandons her. Her parents reject her. Her dead sister appears as a lank-haired, demon-eyed ghost, desperate to reveal a long-hidden secret. As Junyoung falls into obsession with the troubled Dahye, more and more illusions are stripped away, until Dahye turns to extreme lengths to satisfy her own lust for revenge . . .

You can check the trigger warnings at the bottom, or dive in blind if you prefer a surprise.

Don’t worry if you haven’t finished the book, we’ll start by chatting about whatever spooky (or not-so-spooky) reads we’re enjoying before diving into the featured title. Come for the eerie atmosphere, stay for the lively conversations and, of course, the cats, because let’s be honest, that’s why you’re really here, isn’t it?

Questions? Feel free to drop a comment or message me (Gonzalo) for more details. Hope to see you there!
