About this listen
One Idol.
Four Fans.
A Bloody Mess.
‘Yosep was the only thing in her world.’
A K-Pop idol with legions of adoring disciples, Yosep, is the fallen angel of the music industry. Impossibly beautiful, his perfection inspires a near-religious devotion in his fans. But for an elect few, this dedication will spill over into delusion.
Four fans – Mihee, Nami, Heeae and their ringleader Ahnna – hatch a plot to satiate their shared hunger: kidnap.
Plagued by paranoia, and with their grip on reality slowly loosening, the women use increasingly disturbing strategies to keep Yosep in their possession. As they plunge into a hallucinatory hellfire of betrayal and murder in the name of their beloved, the group threaten to drag this young angel into the flames with them . . .
Holy Boy is a thrilling novel that defies expectations until the final page with its deadly puzzle-box of literary tricks. An astonishing indictment of contemporary celebrity and parasocial desire, Holy Boy is the tale of one life told through the bloody kaleidoscope of unstoppable obsession.
