High school senior Sohyeon Choi and his family are an average second-generation immigrant family living in the affluent DC suburb of Addison. His life of studying, gaming and paintball is suddenly disrupted one night when an odd-looking man in an old-fashioned boat spirits Sohyeon away across the sky into another dimension, pulling his family into a war between two unknown worlds. One of these strange, distant worlds is Khabu, land of the immortals. Within the ancestral crypt of the royal family, it is rumored Khabu's ancient kings still live out their days in animal form, and Khabu's enigmatic high priestess, Minha, searches for a champion to help the royal family heal the rift between the queen and her rebellious brother. The second world, Eokhmisseun, is a land of humans ravaged by the demonic creature Litt, whose magic has forced the ruling council into hiding and turned most of the citizens into shadowy half-men with a taste for blood. Connected to Khabu through the gift of a flock of magical birds the underground leaders in the capital city use to communicate, one member of the council also holds a mysterious artefact, the only remaining silver weapon to be found in both lands. As the dark past of Khabu engulfs both lands, the menace begins to spread to Addison and plunges it into darkness. Sohyeon After Midnight is a genre-bending horror-fantasy inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's "The White Ship" and "Shadow Over Innsmouth" as well as H. G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau.

Lady Xiansa's Guide to Beginning Korean is a practical manual for first-year Korean students who want the most useful grammar and relevant vocabulary to quickly promote speaking and writing skills. Many textbooks focus on travel phrases, situations in Korea, school, or very limited small talk while providing overwhelming lists of vocabulary or inconsistent verb speech levels. This guide aims to lay the foundation for further academic study of Korean, including an overview of how the writing system functioned in the past as well as acknowledging the importance and usefulness of hanja while limiting the use of romanization. While not a self-study guide, this textbook should be a good reference tool for all students of Korean, and has appropriate vocabulary for modern college students and adult workers talking about a wide range of personal topics.
