The Coastal Korea Trilogy: Young Franklin, Kim's Compartment and Coffee Chronicles

By C G Hutchens

Three interconnected stories set on the same stretch of Korean coastline, collected in one volume.

Young Franklin - A passive man inherits a hillside plot of land and accidentally builds a fertility temple. The squid witch on the mountain is not amused.

Kim's Compartment - The squid witch has a name. Her name is Eun-ju Kim. This is her story, seen from the inside - a young woman with a forbidden love and a stolen future, and the hardened figure the village fears she became. Darker than it first appears. More human than you expect.

Coffee Chronicles - A data engineer from Seattle arrives on the Korean coast looking for a decent craft beer. What he finds instead is a convenience store cashier who has already planned their wedding, a driver whose business is considerably shadier than it appears, and a coffee shop owner with a question nobody in the village can answer.

The same mountain. The same coastal world. Three completely different stories.
