Bora Chung on horror, revenge, and writing ghost stories for a broken world

From Cursed Bunny to Midnight Timetable, a conversation about stories that turn rage into resistance.

Some stories haunt you long after you close the book, and Midnight Timetable is one of them.

In this week’s episode of Sick Sad Lit, I sit down with Bora Chung, the International Booker–shortlisted author of Cursed Bunny, to talk about her haunting new collection Midnight Timetable.

We talk about ghosts, grief, humour, and the strange comfort of horror. Bora shares her journey from teaching Russian literature to becoming one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary fiction, and how she uses horror and satire to tell the truth about living in a broken world.

If you love speculative fiction, eerie beauty, or the quiet optimism that sometimes hides inside fear, this conversation is for you.
