Description
Book Introduction
“Horang Antique Shop is a place where you can find hidden memories in objects.
It plays a role in retrieving and mending old relationships.
“Now I invite you into a bold story” - Cheongye (novelist)
Storing and purifying objects that contain resentment
The doors to the haunted shop, Tiger Antiques Shop, are open!
A dazzling step forward in healing horror fiction, Beom Yu-jin's new full-length novel is published.
The new full-length novel 『Tiger Antique Shop』 by Beom Yu-jin, who has been active in various genres including fantasy, horror, and young adult novels, has been published.
This is a new work that he has poured his heart and soul into, following 『Nine Scissors』 and 『Copycat Restaurant』, which were awarded three times in the Safe House Story Contest and built an original narrative based on his interest in social issues.
At the end of an alley lined with retro television towers and antique shops, there's a suspicious shop that opens at 11 p.m. and stays open until 4 a.m.
The Tiger Antiques Store is a place where items imbued with the sorrow of those who were unjustly sacrificed to social structural problems and absurdities are stored.
The tiger's eye and the sacred energy of the land that guards this place have been purifying the evil power that has been in the antiques for a long time.
However, accidents occur all over the place as objects that have not been purified lure humans into escaping.
"The Tiger Antique Shop" is an extremely fantastical and realistic 'healing horror novel'.
It faithfully follows the grammar of bizarre horror, but it also examines the characters' joys and sorrows with a loving gaze.
As you follow the narrative of “a surprisingly breathtaking and sinister game of tag,” you will feel “anger, longing, and sometimes even sorrow” by the time you turn the last page (novelist Cheongye).
"The Tiger Antique Shop" boldly illuminates the dark side of the world—domestic violence, labor rights, misogyny, lookism, class issues—while never losing sight of humanity. It will deeply impress and delight readers.
Antiques that are prohibited from sale are those with stories, like these matches.
They try to get out of the store by attracting people who have similar characteristics to them.
They keep causing accidents by wandering around like that.
That is also a way to relieve resentment… …but that would only harm people, so we purify resentment inside the store.

Into the book
The young man with snow-white eyebrows traveled all over the place, solving problems caused by the strange things.
People called him 'Ho-mi (虎眉)'.
Homie listened to the voice of the earth and chose a good place to build a house.
The things that caused all kinds of trouble outside became quiet as soon as they came to Homie's house.
--- p.10
When Kim Gyu-ri's eyes met, the woman smiled.
The cloth covering his chin loosened, and his mouth, now sparsely toothed, opened like a deep cave.
The lower jaw was half melted, and the green liquid that filled the mouth soaked the cloth.
Stop.
The liquid flowing from the woman's mouth fell onto Kim Gyu-ri's lap.
--- p.48
The child's bright voice rang like a bell in the alley.
At the same time, three pieces of wood stuck together like melting glass in a furnace, and became the ugly doll that disappeared.
Kim Taek-gu's throat trembled loudly as he faced the doll's face that appeared before his eyes, which he couldn't tell whether it was smiling or crying.
The doll's head opened before Kim Taek-gu screamed.
Hundreds of locusts poured out from within and attacked Kim Taek-gu.
--- p.100
Anyway, Dad, Mom nagged me a lot because of this.
Why did you buy such an ugly thing?
I had no choice but to keep it in the storage room, but the bell rang every night.
The phone line isn't even connected.
--- p.137
As soon as I got home by taxi, I didn't see Shim Gil-yong, who had fallen asleep on the bed.
A black shadow creeping through the gap under the front door, and Rob glaring at the shadow and tapping his foot on the floor.
As Rob wrinkled his nose fiercely, the shadow slowly retreated and disappeared.
--- p.180
How can it be so shameful to be abandoned by the person you trusted the most and still crave affection?
Isn't it the one who betrays that trust that is ugly?
--- p.215
Sohayeon covered her mouth and called her mother silently.
I shouldn't have gone to my grandmother's house that day, I should have stayed home, then maybe my mother wouldn't have died.
The regret that had been lingering on burst out with tears.
--- p.238
Will you ever grow white eyebrows?
Maybe you'll have the same question.
Will you become afraid of being alone?
Lee Yu-yo gently stroked So Ha-yeon's head.

Publisher's Review
“I fell asleep in the tiger antique shop and when night came,
“They didn’t know what it was like to wake up.”
Cursed objects mixed with resentment and longing for life
In “19th Century, Bryant & May Matches in England,” Kim Gyu-ri is a call center worker.
I am suffering from a job so difficult that I have to take turns answering calls and going to the bathroom.
Then one day, Kim Gyu-ri passes by Horang Antiques Store and enters the store as if possessed.
When I picked up the old matchbox, I said, “Take me.
Hearing the voice saying, “Take me,” he ends up stealing without realizing it.
After that, Kim Gyu-ri is tormented by encountering female ghosts with their chins wrapped in a nameless cloth every day.
〈19th Century, Shadow Puppet Wayang Kulit〉 is the story of Kim Taek-gu, who works as a delivery man in his sixties.
Jealous and violent, he plans to kidnap a child and force her to do care work in his wife's stead after losing her.
Then, on impulse, he goes to the Tiger Antique Shop and buys a wooden doll.
From that day on, a sinister voice counting numbers can be heard in Kim Taek-gu's ears.
〈1977, Postal Service No. 1 Wall-mounted Public Telephone〉 shows that if you miss someone desperately, you can eventually connect.
Jung Ji-woon is a reclusive actor living in a guesthouse in the forest, secretly preparing to commit suicide.
But then, an old public phone, abandoned in the guesthouse, suddenly rings.
Jeong Ji-woon picks up the phone and starts talking to his best friend who has passed away, and thanks to that, he gradually regains his will to live.
In "1950s, Lucky Rabbit's Foot," Shim Gil-yong is helping out with video work while crying and eating mustard under the threats of his friends who run YouTube channels.
Then one day, while my friends were going to the Horang Antique Shop to take pictures of the spirit spots, I received one of the rabbit's feet that they had secretly brought with them.
From that day on, his friends experience incredible luck, but nothing happens to Sim Gil-yong.
Why is that?
In 〈17th Century, Straw Doll Jeung〉, Chae Ju-yeon suffers from stress-induced binge eating after divorcing her cheating husband.
As I gain weight, I become more and more stressed by the evaluation of my appearance by my coworkers.
Then, by chance, he visits the Horang Antique Shop with a friend and buys a suspicious-looking straw doll.
After a few days, the straw doll seemed to move little by little from where it was placed… … .
〈Unknown Year, Bean Bag〉 is the story of Sohayeon, who lives with her grandmother without parents.
So Ha-yeon is bullied at school because her father, who was abusive to her family, ended up killing her mother and then committing suicide.
Then one day, when the ghost of her father appears and threatens to kill Sohayeon, Homi gives Sohayeon a bean bag with colorful patterns on it to stop him.
What kind of power will the bean bag with mysterious power be able to protect Sohayeon?
“If you give love to just one person,
“That alone makes the world truly beautiful.”
A story for us now, with an exciting plot and a deep aftertaste.
The characters in "The Tiger Antique Shop" are mostly good and ordinary people, although there are some evil ones.
However, they cannot overcome the temptation of the moment and commit mistakes or are inevitably swept up in incidents by others.
At that time, the antiques exert strange powers to punish them terribly or provide unexpected help.
“This article is also a story about loneliness.
As the author says, “I hope you feel a little less lonely while reading ‘Tiger Antique Shop,’” ‘Tiger Antique Shop’ takes the form of an eerie tale, but ultimately, it is a story about comfort and solidarity.
Therefore, in the last chapter, the scene where Homie, who had been lonely for a long time, willingly welcomes the child who will become the next generation of Homies, and the scene where he resolves misunderstandings and has a heart-to-heart talk with neighbors with whom he had been at odds, are heartwarming.
It inspires readers to imagine the future of the Tiger Antique Shop, which has not yet been written, and instills hope in life.
“What the customer buys belongs to the customer.
“If you have any problems with after-sales service, I’ll be happy to help you at any time, so come visit me then.” Chae Joo-yeon put the money in her pocket and left the tiger shop.
The dim, long light of the tiger shop in the dark alley was warm.
Chae Joo-yeon followed the light.

Author's Note
I believe that even if there is no special story behind it, the things we use every day are imbued with our daily lives.
Could it be said that it is rather amazing that the insignificant daily life piles up and becomes something that reminds us of someone?
That's why, when I look at the items in an antique shop, I feel like I'm peeking into someone else's diary.
If you are drawn to old things, you will also love strange things, so it took the form of a strange tale.
At the same time, this article is also a story about loneliness.
I hope you feel a little less lonely while reading "The Tiger Antique Shop."
