One idol.

Four fans.

Worship’s never been bloodier.

Yosep is a K-pop idol with millions of adoring fans. But for four of them, a poster on the wall just won't cut it. They have a plan—a perfect, foolproof plan—to get their idol all to themselves.

Kidnapping Yosep seemed like the ultimate act of love. But inside a secluded mansion, plagued by paranoia and with their grip on reality slowly loosening, the women use increasingly disturbing strategies to keep Yosep in their possession. As their angel's halo slips and their perfect plan unravels, the women must fight not only to keep him, but to keep their secret buried - at all costs.

More than a little unhinged, Holy Boy is an exhilarating descent into the dark side of devotion.

Translated from the Korean by Joheun Lee.
