"Who on earth wrote this novel? I was so curious."
Recommendations from readers who have read the novel first

A new novel has been published by Giant Books.
From the anthology 『Playground is 24 Hours』 (Kim Cho-yeop, Bae Myeong-hoon, Pyeon Hye-young, Jang Kang-myeong, Kim Geum-hee, Park Sang-young, Kim Jung-hyuk) that contains short stories written with the keyword of 'fun' by seven of Korea's best novelists, to Kim Cho-yeop's full-length novel 『Greenhouse at the End of the Earth』, which has been confirmed for film adaptation after receiving love from 100,000 readers, Giant Books' latest novel, 『Deleter: We Will Make You Disappear』, which has garnered the support and trust of readers in just two years since the publishing company took its first steps.

This novel, which boasts a unique worldview that the world is made up of many layers and an easy readability that makes it impossible to put your eyes down from the first sentence until the last, first met readers through a pre-publication proof copy.
The tentative binding contained only the title of the work and the publisher's name, without the author's name or any information about the work. This was done to prevent hasty guesses that could be drawn from the author's background and to allow readers to experience the pure enjoyment of the story.

The intention was right, and one reporter who read the novel in a pre-printed version said, “I opened the book and was captivated as if I were in a trance.
I was very curious about who wrote this book.
(……) Judging by the well-organized structure and the captivating sentences, it seemed like he wasn’t a new writer” (〈“Who on Earth Wrote This Novel?” Reading a Novel with the Author’s Name Hidden〉, Dong-A Ilbo, 2022.

The enthusiastic response was also shared by the 200-member book review group.

It felt like I was carrying a small movie theater with me.

If you want to see living characters, feel the beauty of sentences, and think about what it means to live, I dare to recommend this book.

The characters have such distinct personalities that it feels like they could really live somewhere in the real world.
_bonita***
The author's writing style moves back and forth between romance and fantasy.
All conversations were accompanied by video.
This is the writer.
I think I'm in love.
_book***
The characters show great tiki-taka.
The conversation was filled with gentle attacks, like ping-pong balls bouncing back and forth, and I experienced both wit and tension while reading.
_noche***
While using the novel material of erasing something, there was a softness and a human side underlying it rather than the force painted as a violent munchkin.

“The legendary deleting master is here to help you.
Call me right now.
“Deleting is your right.”
Stories of people who once wanted to disappear from this world

Novelist Kang Chi-woo is summoned by the police as a witness in a missing person's case.
Because I am an acquaintance of a missing person whose life or death has been unknown for six months.
The detectives are ready to arrest him at any moment, as he is overly calm, not to mention showing no concern for the well-being of someone he was once close to, and his recently published novel bears a striking resemblance to the life of a missing person.
It seems that Kang Chi-woo is hiding a huge secret.

In fact, Kang Chi-woo is a deleter who is born only once in a million people.
A top-tier deleter that can make not only objects but also people disappear.
Of course, it is expressed as 'disappears', but strictly speaking, it should be 'moved' to be more accurate.
Because the world is made up of many layers.
The deleted beings simply disappear from this world we can see, but in reality, they move into another world, into another layer.

There are many people who have wanted to disappear from this world at least once, and Kang Chi-woo helps such clients.
The price is the story.
I write novels based on the life stories my clients tell me.
As a result, it becomes a bestseller.
Kang Chi-woo has been making great strides as a novelist and also as a dealer.
But there is something that Kang Chi-woo desperately wants back.
He wants to embark on this journey with Pictor, a legendary being who can see through layers.

A pleasant imagination that only fantasy can provide
When you face the world after the story is over… …

As the title suggests, 『Deleter: I'll Make You Disappear』 is a fantasy novel for those who have ever wanted to disappear from this world.
Whether it's because the past is holding us back, because we're crushed by the weight of today, or because tomorrow is no longer promising... ... For different reasons, we all desperately imagine and hope that no one will ever find themselves again.
Deletor is the one who makes the wishes of such people come true.

The author tells a thrilling story that moves between mystery and fantasy, based on a hope that everyone can relate to.
He erased all his awards and published works from the book flap, leaving only the introduction of a “novelist.” He also wrote that while writing this work, he “realized that there is a pleasant imagination that only fantasy can provide.”

Something that is completely impossible in reality, but becomes entirely possible in a story.
After visiting a world we can't visit in reality, what kind of lives will we lead when we return to our original home? The world we encounter after the story ends will be completely different from the one before.
However, since knowing something through guesswork is not true knowledge, I hope you will experience the journey firsthand through the story of the author who says, “I am happiest when I am writing a novel.”

From charming protagonists to unique sidekicks and antagonists,
The joy of meeting living, breathing characters!

Because there was something I desperately wanted back.
