Blue Tiles · Night Rain · Brass Bell
Kang Yeo-an, the youngest visiting professor at Seoul National University, built her career dismantling shamanic superstitions in the lecture hall. In late October, a bizarre ghost-marriage murder leaves a left-handed talisman wedged beneath an altar leg—stamped with the pine-and-crescent seal of Seowoldang on Mount Inwang.
She climbs the mist-shrouded stone steps, and from behind a bamboo curtain, a brass bell drops and rolls to her feet.
