“Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it’s like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil.” —New York Times Book Review

* TIME MAGAZINE 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024 * BRAM STOKER AWARD WINNER * SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD FINALIST *

Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing.

In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Mouthwatering blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescendingly toward Ji-won and her sister, as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. But George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.

No matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.

"I was enticed from the first line and entertained throughout. The Eyes Are the Best Part is a quirky, engaging read."—Oyinkan Brainthwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer

    FAQs

    How Do You Ship Orders?

    I take great care in making sure that all candles reach their forever homes in perfect condition. Each candle is wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap to protect both the labels and the glass. I also insulate the package very well with either peanuts or packing paper.

    I ship everything via USPS Priority or Ground Advantage. I also use UPS depending on the weight and dimensions of your order.

    If you receive your candle in less than perfect condition, be sure to contact me immediately at info@getfictional.com. I can send you a new candle or refund your purchase entirely. 

    How Long Does It Take to Receive My Order?

    Current processing time is about 2 weeks, give or take a day or two. Some orders may ship much sooner, but as most candles are made-to-order, I appreciate your patience! If you need something rushed, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at info@getfictional.com.

    What If My Items Arrive Damaged?

    Unfortunately, it happens. I do my best to package everything to the max, but mail services can be rough on packages.

    If this happens to you, snap a quick shot of the damage and packaging and email me at info@getfictional.com. I will replace all damaged items!
