We're publishing The Lovecraft Reanimated project in a month! It features Korean speculative fiction writers reimagining the works of H.P. Lovecraft. While honoring his eerie imagery, they update his ideas for a global audience.

Excited to share my translation of "Invitation," a story by Cho Yeeun! Six months after pulling this story from Guernica, it finally found a new home. Thanks to @JanetHong333, @adalva, and @sbrookcorfman for their passion and support ♡
